Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Anybody love H-322?

Sycamore: I use a fair amount of H 322 - its stayed "consistent" for me over several decades now.
4 of my 6 Varminters in 222 Remington prefer (accuracy wise) H 322 and 1 of my 2 Varminters in 22 Remington Bench Rest prefers H 322.
Also my ultra-accurate factory stock Remington 40XB-BR KS in 6x47 is MOST accurate when using H 322 powder.
Best of luck in your load development.

Sako 222 H322-52 BERGER-LAPUA BRASS-REM.7.5 = 1HOLE

Custom AR ( SAME AS ABOVE ) = .300 GROUPS

Rem. 700 204 Ruger H322- 35 BERGER- NORMA BRASS- REM 7.5 = .300-.400 GROUPS

It is some good powder and plain just works.

From 22 cal to 45 cal.
Accurate as well.

Anybody here remember when Hodgdon was selling H322 GI Surplus for about 3 bucks a pound? Tried it for my 7 TCU and then the 222. The stuff shot lights out. Still got a little left.

Use it in my .204 with a 39gr Blitz, all I can say is "awesome"

I use it in my 223 50gr bullets loads and in two of my 6x45
loads, 55gr and 70gr bullets.

awesome, I will pick up 8# next chance I get.

I use it in my 223 with 60 gr Vmax and BT...excellent powder !

I have used it in one caliber, 17 Hornet with 25 grain bullets to good effect. Then I tried Accurate 2200 as a alternative and the metering was so much better and performance a tad better.

Not a 6.8 guy here though if I were considering H322 in this cartridge, I'd also give Accurate 2200 a try. Looking over the data for 85 & 90 grain bullets might make things look little more favorable for the A2200 option.

Again I am not a 6.8 guy so no personal experience with that application. Has any one here compared A2200 to H322 in this application?

Did a little google search and came up with this thread on another forum that seems applicable.

Excellent results in the 6.8 SPC, it's the only powder I use for that cartridge. Not too shabby in the 204, and pretty good in the 223.

just ordered an 8# jug from PV.......

fuels my 20 Vartarg & 20-222.......

good stuff.........

I use to use a lot of it in a 7mm br with 100 , 120 and 140 gr. bullets. should work good for your 6.8.

How many grains H322?
What rifle?

Best I've gotten so far in a RAP is 5/8" 5-shot with RL15.

In my half dozen 222's, without too much experimentation, H-322 has been number one in all but one. In the odd one out, IMR 4198 has been best. I focus mostly on 40 grainers...B/tips, Blitzkings, Vmax's.

I use 41.1 grains of H322 behind a Sierra 155 grain Palma bullet in my 308 for the 200 and 300 yard stages. Very light recoil and shoots lights out.

my favorite powder in my .35 Remmy and my .358 Bullberry contenders
