Thread: Powder

When guys talk about "2206" these days, many of them actually mean the current 2206H which is slightly slower burning. 2206 hasn't been available for a while far as I know.
Be careful you check what you're actually getting.

I'm finishing off the last of my old 2206 in one of my .223s. I then have the choice of a big batch of 747 or 5lbs of N201 I was given.

If you are looking at Americans load data, be sure to look at the ADI powder equivalent chart on the ADI website. You may find that the ADI equivalent of Hodgon or IMR is a heck of a lot easier to find in NZ.

Most folk appear to go for ADI Benchmark 2 as their starting powder for 223, this is the same as Hodgons Benchmark. ADI Benchmark 1 is not the same.
Id either try ADI Benchmark 2 or seeings as you are shooting slightly heavier projectiles, 2208 which is the same as Varget.

Yeah cheers, I've settled on 24.2gr of adi 2206. I'm sure it's not the 2206h version. But it's very accurate and I'll probably go to bm2
