I load 23.2 for bolt guns and 23.4 for gas guns under a 55 grain bullet. Those are close to max loads if not just slightly over as per the loading manuals. I'm betting 322 will be close to the same and you will get equivalent accuracy.

I normally load it with 25 grains in the 223....if I want a little more zip, I'll bounce that up to 26.5 grains...

Never had pressure issues, popped primers etc...even with the 26.5 grain load..

I use Small Rifle Primers... no magnum, don't see the needs..

I also use a lot of Benchmark, and AA2015....I use reloader 7, so never saw a need to play with RL 10... but I have burned 4 or 5 lbs of it..
I just saw better results with RL 7... I buy that in 5 pound containers... and Benchmark and 2015, I usually buy that in 8 pounders...


You are putting 25 grains of AA2015 into a .223 case and you have no pressure signs ?? I must be doing something wrong. I would live to find an 8 lbs'er in 2015. I would prefer AA2230 in an 8 pounder or AA2460 but I'd settle for AA2015.

I was referring to H 322 with 25 grains and adding up to 26.5 grains when desired...

But from Steve's Reloading Pages, http://stevespages.com/224_8_50.html

it lists max charge at 26.6
