    It's a funny one, the powder in that game doesn't have to be the best, the cleanest, the fastest, the most easiest to use - it just has to be the same every time. Good to know 2208 is up there, but a little surprised 2206h isn't used more.

    Greetings All,
    Interesting that just one diehard Winchester used a US made powder and Oz rules on the rest. Would not have predicted that 50 years ago.

    The Winchester powder they chose was made by ADI

    Global dynamics and ADI are a team effort

    2208/2209 may not get the fastest speeds but I’ve found it’s always produced accurate loads
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    2208 was initially made for the USA team 600yrd competition
