Yep they'd be my pick too, those things shoot bloody well and kill very well too and don't cost a small fortune either - excellent projectile.

AGREED

Hey Elitesniper---- are you getting the same velocities using 8208 as you would with other powders? I know 8208 certainly helps accuracy wise. Cheers Malcolm G'day Malcolm I don't no what velocity I'm getting with the 8208 as I haven't bothered to chronograph my loads as of yet...what I do no is th...

Benchmark 8208 is a great powder,I now use it for .223 and .308 rifle and the results have blown me away ......cheers

Have you made anymore progress with this load? G'day fellas These are some of my latest loads using both benchmark 8208 and the 2206H Here take a look http://i.imgur.com/kXPKMgw.jpg Just remember,what works in my gun may not necesseraly work in yours....start from min and work up slowly........chee...

[im Sorry if I gave offense there Elitesniper. I didn't mean to imply that you were doing anything risky. Just wanted to know why.

Fascinating info there. I hope the load weights translate to my rifle too. (A Thompson Center Dimension) Sorry if I gave offense there Elitesniper.

I am curious why you are going for the hottest possible load. Is it for energy at kill range? I'm not going for the hottest possible load,like I said I'll start from min and work my up until I hit the sweet spot...and yes it is for energy at kill range....I already load for .308 using AR2208 and am...

G'day Elitesniper, I worked up a load for my Dad's .223 with a 25" 1:14 twist Shilen, using 2206H and the 55 grain Vmax. I can remember attempting to use a starting load of 25.5g to work up to 26 in small increments, but found it was very difficult to fit in the case. With more time and care i...

I am also working up .223 loads with 2206H, but with a variety of pills. I'd be very interested in your results and will also try to post mine when I can find time to get to the range. I am curious to hear whether or not if you use the 55s whether or not you can hear the powder moving when you shak...

G'day fellas I have a howa 223 with 1-12 twist rate and am working up some loads using 2206h powder with 55 grain hornady v-max bullets,I have full length sized all my brass and trimmed them to a uniformed length of 1.750,the ADI website suggests a minimum of 25grains and max 26grains for this parti...

If you go to bunnings and buy the dremel carbon wire attachment which costs around six bucks you can do 50 cases in under 3 min flat I no I do with my .308 cases and they come out sparkling clean,better than brand new brass....simply slide it in to any chord less power drill and your done......cheer...

I don't shoot for targets either,I want these loads for hunting purposes only so they must feed in the magazine which all of them are right now,I have measured and chambered all of them to make sure and the coal is set to 2.885....I hope they will be alright,I will find out this weekend.....fingers ...

G'day fellas Had the day off today and decided to load some ammo,I decided to load to the lands of my rifle using 165 spitzer boat tails for .308...I started by cutting slits in the case using a dremel tool and seating the bullet slightly so it will chamber I my rifle,I closed the bolt and extracted...
