    208 AMax Data Req'd

    Can anyone help me please? I am after the Hornady load data for the 208 Amax in .308 Win - I believe its listed in the 8th edition manual, my 7th doesnt cover it.

    Many thanks!

    What rifle are you putting these through? I had a fair bit of success with these in my dta. I found that ramshot big game worked very well with these. That col of 2.8" tho is very short for these bullets

    Its a Tikka T3 Tactical 24". It's 11 twist, so we shall see if they stabilize, I am hoping so! I'm planning to use Varget also (due to having stock of it).

    I have measured them off my lands, and 10thou back gives a COAL of 3.007" - I wouldn't have fancied running them at 2.8" like you say!.

    Will let you know how I get on, hoping to do some work up at 100yd then test them for my normal shooting which is 900m.

    Personally I would think varget is a bit fast for the 208 slugs. I found big game to be perfect I was getting like 2400fps from a 16" barrel!
