    223, 243, 708, 6.5/7.7 Arisaka, 6.5 Portuguese, Mosin, K98 and even the 303

    make do of what you got...I run the numbers thru Gordons as well, not just from load tables on the internet.

    I've used it in 243 with great results, 7mm08 goes well too. Looking at online data it looks quite useful with 150 grain bullets in 300wsm as well, no experience there though.

    don't forget the larger bores
    I run 2208/varget in my 358 win, 225 gr sierra game king boat tail at up to 2450 fps, out of a single shot would be a great bush gun for shots out to 300 mtr.
    Or try the new Hammer's they claim significantly higher velocities.

    You just have to look at the ADI Data.

    A bit more bang is better.

    Greetings,
    There are not many cartridges that can not be loaded with either AR2206H or AR2209 so while one powder may not do all those two will do most. Perhaps not peak velocities in all cartridges but effective,
    GPM.
