Oh yeah I'm not judging whether or not your load is too hot, just saying that even if it is, it's not likely to actually blow the rifle up.

I use 2206 with 20" barrel and 69 Targex @ 3k. So if you drop 20fps per inch for your 16" you should be able to push into the early 2900's

2208 probably isn't the best choice for top speeds in 223. It's relatively slow burning and there's not enough case capacity to get as much as you'd like in there. How lenient are max loads?...

26-26.5 gns of 2208 is where it’s at with a 69 gn in the .223. It’s about max on velocity and is normally a sweet spot for accuracy. Compressed load also. 25 gns with the 77-80.5 gn pills seated out...

I found couldn't get what I wanted with 2208 and bm2 was my best. 2206h is the only one I hit pressure with at book max, rest of adi have been able to go over quite easily

Don’t use the .223 on deer if you are flustered or rushed. It’s a caliber for cool heads and steady hands. But on the other hand it can teach you to shoot well and make correct bullet placement...
