| Anyone use this stuff? Have a good 223 plinking or range load? I have about 8lbs I picked up on a panic buy a few years ago and need to get it loaded. Thought of buying some processed brass and some cheap bullets and load em up. |
| When I ran out of AA2230 I picked some of the H322 up and used it in my 3 gun loads running 2850 fps. Nice and accurate, loaded well on a 1050. I'd buy it again for sure. H335 worked well also. I worked up the load and ended up right at max load (23.1g) on my 18" rifle length 1:8 barrel and was ringing steel on the clock @ 500 yards. These loads were using 55gr Hornady Bulk FMJ. |

Love me some H322. The 77gr load is all I shoot anymore.
LC case 21.6gr H322 77gr SMK Wolf small rifle magnum, Tula small rifle or Fed 205M primer COAL: 2.250" LC case 22.9gr H322 69gr SMK Wolf small rifle magnum, Tula small rifle or Fed 205M primer COAL: 2.250" |

I run three varmint accuracy ar rigs with H322 and Hornady Zmax 50 grainers ($60'ish per 500), as do a couple other friends. Haven't found an AR yet that couldn't be tuned to something pretty special with this combo.
Work up, all of mine found best accuracy below max. I used these rounds from the dead of winter to the blazing hot prairie dog days ... seems to be very temperature tolerant powder for me, and a relatively cheap accuracy round to produce. |

I'm new to the whole AR15 reloading game. I have a few questions for you H322 guys...
I'm looking for a powder that provides great accuracy out to 300 yards, excellent for three gun and delivers low recoil with fairly high fps to match my 1-6x BDC reticle. I'm using CCI primers, 55gr. Hornady FMJ's out of my modded FF 16" Bushy. I've experienced... IMR4198 - excellent at 21gr., chrono'd at 2,930 fps, 1MOA at 100 yds., no issues at all out to 300, low recoil. I really like this powder, but I'm new and I know there are a ton of .223 poweders out there. H335 - still experimenting with load, recoil is definitely more than the IMR4198 and its chronoing much lower at higher charges? Would that be, because of the slower burn rate and higher charge? How do you guys like H322 and how does it kick in comparison to IMR4198 and H335? I know, I know, .223 doesn't kick, I get it, but I need speed and it does make a difference. All feedback on the H322 powder is much appreciated. Thanks guys! |
