    ADI AR2208 for .223

    I have AR2208 powder and sierra 65GR Gameking projectiles but can’t find any reloading data for these two. Rifle, bolt action savage any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    ADI website reckons start of 22gr and max of 24gr for the 63gr Sierra, so I'd use that as a starting point.

    AR2208 is sold as Varget in the USA so a search for that may be useful as well.

    Yes, that sounds about right. Case space can be a limiting factor with 2208 and .223.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Sierra's bolt gun data gives a max of 26.3 for the 63gr semi point and 26.4gr for the 69gr smk.
