That's because Fazakerley was a GOVERNMENT factory and BSA were just a commercial company, working under contract. And when the need for more rifles abated, guess who got the chop? Maltby got the chop first because they were a one trick pony, only making No4 rifles and there were other jobs in the coal industry locally and we were desperate for coal, even though the miners were the only people to strike during the war!

........and that's the reason I prefer 2206H or 2206 when available, it gives a bigger boot up the butt and obturates even the hardest boattails to give a good seal, pump them quick and forget about throat erosion, if it's that bad nothing will fix it.

2206H pressure peaks at a lower velocity than 2208 on the graph. The boot i was referring to was velocity similar to Mk8 at lower pressure.

I use a DP-3 to throw .2 grains under then tip it into a lee balance scale set at the final load charge weight and trickle the last .2gns in I have a restrictor on the throwing tube of the DP-3 as 08 is allot coarser and the restrictor stops the over throwing heaps for Win powders I can set it spot on with only about 4% of the weights being over and having to be readjusted 8208 is just as good at metering use that in my wifes full bore and F class.

I am using a Redding micro adjustable thrower and Redding beam. My FO & FC loads are single digit variance. I only use 2208 now days for all medium sized cases.
