Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Anybody love H-322?

I'm looking for a faster powder for 90 gr 6.8SPC and was wondering if anyone uses a lot of H-322? What do you use it for? light bullets in 223? 6x45?

Interested in it because it is supposed to meter well (fine grained, for extruded powder)

Thanks,

I use it in my 6mm PPC and have no reason to try anything else...

I have had luck with the 90 and RL 7.

I run it in the 223, 22.250, 243 and 260 Remington...

thru all bullet ranges in the 22 calibers...

243 it sees use from 55 to 85 grainers which is most of my off season shooting weights...

and the 260 I use it with the 85 grain Sierra HP, the 90 gr TNT Speer and the various 100 grainers...I also have tried it with good results with the 120 grain ballistic tip...

Works well in the 30/30 with 150 grainers also...

am standardizing the use of H 322, and AR Comp in the above cartridges with those bullet weights...

they are available, accurate, no temp sensitivity...

No love for H332. I couldn't get the accuracy in my 6.8 that I could with Rl-10x with the 95 and 100 grain bullets. I found Rl-7 to be more accurate and faster with the 85gr. TSX and MPG.

I use it quite a bit for light bullets in all of my .223's

I've used MANY pounds of it over the last 30 years in 7mm TCU loads in my Contender for handgun silhouette - absolutely works great in that cartridge. It's also worked very well in the .222 Rem, mostly with 50 grain bullets. And, yes it meters very well.

don't know why you couldn't get any accuracy in your 6.8, but in a 260 Rem with an 85 grain Sierra HP:

50 yds in a brand new barrel...




100 yds in a brand new barrel:



so I don't have any complaints whatsoever...

that looks pretty good!

H322 what my go to powder for my 6BR.

What Grand said, just in a 22 BR.
Not too chabby in the 223 with lightweights either.

picked up a pound today.

killed me not to get the keg.

That works for Bruce Piatt.

20 Vartarg & 20/222 is what I burn H322 in with the 40 V max

It is an excellent temp stable powder. My JP CTR-02 AR 223 chews it up with 50 grain Sierra Blitzkings. Prairie dog hunting in 100+ degree heat has shown no change in point of impact with this legendary powder.

I have rarely been without at any time in the past 25-30 years...usually in an 8 pounder. It was the single powder I could count on for 385 grain cast bullets (Lyman) in my old early 70s Marlin 1895 with shallow groove rifling. And it works so well in other applications...like 64 PPs in the 223, etc.

'Twas the only powder I loaded in a couple thousand .223's for my old red pad Ruger 1-B. It gave me 1/2-3/4MOA accuracy with Sierra 50-55 grain bullets and since I was shooting groundhogs like a madman with it and wasn't in a big experimenting mood at the time, I left well enough alone and caused the LGS to be devoid of the powder for a long time.

20.5 grains of H322 and any good 50 grain SP do marvelous things
in my 722 .222, usually sparked by Remington 7 1/2 primers .........
