    150gr sst will work great as an all round load. When I had one AR2206h was my go to powder.

Ive bought some 150grain SSTs so will start there I guess. Cheers team
    That's what I run in mine mate. 46.5 grains 2206h pushes them at 2751fps out of my 16 inch tikka. Very accurate out to 500m in good conditions. That's getting hot though so definitely dont start there. I'd suggest use the ADI reloading book as a reference

    I use 2206h with 165gr bullets (hornady SPs or SSTs, and will try serria hpbt some stage this year too).
    Those 130 ttsx look awesome.

    Use to use 46.5gr 2208 with Sierra 165gr hpbt gamekings and get about 2550 but lethal bush round. Have a heap of speer 125gr hps that I ran out of the 308 @ 2984fps(16" bbl) which were hilarious on varmints. Can have them cheap if you want to reload

    8 posters here used ADI 2206H powder. Food for thought.

    2206h or 2208 with 165 sst works a treat at short and long range then Leigh 168 for subs over the dog.

    It's the "go to" powder for .308 Win, that's for sure.

    Barnes TTSX 130gn , federal 210 primer, H335 ~ 3000fps. Runs awesome in my 16" Kaimai MPR. I'd get your hands on a chrony so you know what is going on. Some loads online are pretty hot so watch out. I get deformation of lapua cases at 48gn.
