Thread: Reload 308 using magnum LRP 2208 powder vs standard LRP 2206H

Traditionally, probably at least 85% of NRA fullbore shooters used 2208 with 155s. When I used to shoot "sling" as the Americans call it, I actually used the (now obsolete) 2206 which was a bit faster burning than 2206H. Load was giving 2940 with moly'd Mk.2 Sierra 155s in a 30" barrel. Wasn't a hot load as one batch of about 450 brass saw the barrel out, just over 5000 rounds.
