Ok guys has anyone used AR 2208 with 110gr hornady V-max in 308?
Looking for load data but there is nothing in the ADI data for this combination.
Loading for a mate and these are the materials supplied.
Thanks for your time and help.
Cheers Bob.

not sure about a pill that light,but i run 45.8gn behind a 155gn pill,my mate runs 45.5gn behind his.
and i run 46/46.1gn in my omark.
id look up a few other powders to see what they run as minimum to max.

I’ve only run the 110gr Vmax in a 300WSM. Personally I think you need to video the first rabbit shot with the 308.

Same - only used them on the odd occasions with a .308 Norma Mag.

Impressive terminal splatter though.

I worked up a load of 48.5gn AR2208 with a 125gn Speer TNT HP in my Omark, so likely it would be fine for a 110gn v-max.

use 48g of 08 and work up to 50g (compressed) should get you around 3240fps

I think you got good advice on Facebook

Bob. It’s the wrong powder for such a light pill

I haven't used the V-Max but I run 46.4 gr of 2208 behind the Sierra 110 HP in my .308 Sako
Haven't measured mine but a mate runs the same load in his at around 3100fps
One hole groups at 100m and as others have said, very impressive splat effect.
Cats are very allergic to this round

Why is that Trevortio, cause someone posted it on Facebag, nothing wrong with 2208 and light projectiles in a 308.

I was just going on the fact that ADI list data for 5 of their powders with a 110gn pill and maybe one of the five they list might do better than the one they don't. How stupid of me

these are for 110g pill in 308 win

Never used the v max but I have driven the 110gr hp sierrias with it. Not much left of what they hit.
Ran much better in 1.13 1.11 twists then the 1.10.
Stiff charge.
Cheers
