Using faster powders just to get a 100% burn means sacrificing speed. Switch the PRC to 63gr of 2225 and GRT says you get 2775fps (and still a 99% burn, because reaching full chamber pressure burns more powder than an extra few inches of barrel).
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.
