Just heading off the usual "why do you want to do that" questions straight off. Now,does or has anyone here reloaded Woodleigh 220gn .308 bullets in a 308 Winchester using AR 2208 powder and if so what was your starting loads ?

So I am not helping here, but I load 165gr Woodleigh, using AR2208 (. 308). I give it 45gr. However, I found it to be too much. At 100m I got a straight through shot, so I am thinking about dialog down to 44gr. Impact side was destroyed. Projectile had enough momentum to bounce off internally and come out the other side (knee). Other than that, excellent accurate projectile. That's what I use in my hunting 308.
