    My std 308 load is , 45gr 2208 , CCI BR2 primers & 175gr SMK in Lapua brass , gets me 2665-2700fps , 24-26 inche barrel , never had a problem with it .
    Seems accurate in most of my 308 rifles so far .
    You could easily use this with say a 178gr Amax bullet .

    A mate of mine is playing with a 178 amax in his right now. I just run some numbers thru Quickload this morning for him.

    46g of 2208 would appear near max pressure, that was using an overall length of 2.95"

    Start lower of course.
