    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.
