Anybody remember T-2208 powder? Used in the .223 ,.308 Winchester & 30-06.
I've loaded many .223 military cases with it 23.0 grs 55 gr bullet gave 2900 fps accurate in Mini 14 and AR-15 rifles , I was moving some stuff today and found at least 5 cans of it, used to buy in bulk 8 lbs cans and transfered to 1 lb cans.

As I remember this one, everyone sought it out and it was far above typical Milsurp prices of the day.

Was it a direct substitute for H322(?) seems like that was the deal. Oh well shoot it and enjoy it, it appears that the days of milsurp are gone except for the super slow stuff.

Long live M9, OLD slow 820, 680, CMR 100, 4895.

I'm not sure about the H322, I still have their loading sheet, I'd guess they are long gone. Other then .223 I don't have anything else to load for it. Somebody lived close that could use it I'd make a heck of a deal on it.
