Should be good I reckon, good as in not carrying a suppressed magnum anymore anyway

Pretty sure Im running 44.5g AR2208 in my blaser for 3100fps with the TSX. Outshot the TTSX in my rifle and kill very well.

Thanks heaps guys. What's the reason for necking down .308 lapua brass?

48gr 2209, berger 140gr VLD, nosler brass and federal primers. Projectile seated as far as poss in tikka short action mag. this is going through a chopped and supressed tikka. 1/2 moa running at 2550 through chrony. Bit slower than expected but accuracy is spot on.

Lapua do not make 7mm-08Rem brass, and it is cheap compared to most other quality brass (especially if you can get your hands on some once fired military 308Win)

A tack driver I have loaded and used in a couple of T3s is 50gn 2209 (compressed), norma brass, 140gn NosBT or AB, CCI magnum primer, seated to just fit in the mag. Over the chrony 2920fps and very low ES from memory. Best group 1 ragged hole and I do need to see if I can repeat that (after I had put S&B Zenith on). Start at 47gn and work up in 0.5gn increments to determine safety in your rifle.

I use, annealed Privi and winchester brass (from when I bought factory ammo) 43.2 gr of 2208, CCI no200 primer (switched to CCI match grade recently and saw no difference), and a 139 Hornady SST @ 2.820in OAL. In a Howa 1500 Ranchlands Compact, with a Light contour 20inch barrel, and a DPT overbarrel supressor.

46.4g 2209, 150g Corelokt, Rem Brass, Winch Primer for 2780fps out of my Ruger. Cruise Missiles

In a mates Sako 75 the accuracy load I make for him is 139gn SSTs, Hornady brass, Federal match primers, OAL of 2.905" and 44.5gns of AR2208. 2800fps and regularly holds within 1/3 MOA.

I use 41.5g of 2206H in Remington brass with CCI primers 139g Hornady SSTs. They get me about 1" out of my model 700.

I've got a bunch of test loads loaded up with some 160g Sierra game kings. Not sure how they'll do. A lot of you guys are using 2208, is that more suitable than 2206h?
