    Also stick to a 165gr in the 308 and it'll tell you that you can reach 2600 with 43.5gr of 2206. Or 2700 with a 150gr and 44.5gr.
    I ignored 2225 because it's a compressed load. And went with 200gr for the 308 because it's a scaled up 270 145gr:
    145x(308/277)^3 = 199gr

    2225 in a long throated 270 would be a hoot though.
