Gents,

Has anyone had any luck with the above? I only have about 55 CCI-450 left but a few hundred Fed205 primers. I want to try some 88gr Bergers but won't have enough to do the testing I want to do this weekend as well as shoot a BR comp next weekend and the 700yd F-Class club shoot. I was going to try 2209 behind the 88gr but would 2208 work better? I've seen a few people have used them but I have heard that ignition problems could occur. A quick response would be awesome.

Thanks guys!!!!!

PS, I can't get any primers during the week due to the fact that I'm at inductions for work.

Gents,

Ive tryed the Fed 205 with 2208 behind a 88gr Berger. 33.5 and 34gr was ok, up from that though, it just sprayed, around 3-4" and some only getting 2 rds on target. Was worth it to find out for my rifle though.

Cheers.
