Thread: AR2208 168 Amax

My advice having been there and done that with the 168 out of a 308 is use the 178 instead.

The 168 will work great +300y on deer but so will the 178 with less windage and the 178 will work reliably at less than 300y were the 168 will not.

Anyways I was running 47gr 2208 fed magnum primers lapua brass 75mm OAL for 2750fps out of a 22" barrel.

This was a warm load work up!

I still recommend the 178 or perhaps the eldx I have not tried yet over the 168 unless all shots on deer sized game are over 300y

And also why develop a load with the amax? Hasent it been discontinued and replaced by the eldm and eldx?

Good data, I said amax, but I believe @VTR is using 178 eldx.
