2208 is the to to powder for 308 and if your already using it why change as 748 burns real dirty. It's also not as good in 308 as the 2208. It's slightly cheaper to buy and goes well through a thrower but unless your reloading massive volumes for say service rifle use I wouldn't change.

I do live using 748 in the ar though (apart from it being a dirty powder)
