A couple observations:
The two guys espousing H335 on this thread are also the two guys who've never found fault with Leupold. Make of that what you will.
A lot of the love for H335 around here back in the day was originally because of Big Stick, who pushed its use, though he lives in a locale where the temperature varies something like 30-40 degrees over the entire year. His sycophants picked up on the idea, but many later found H335 lacking in more varied environments. Yet many have still take his advice on powder selection, even when he espouses temperature sensitive powders like Leverevolution.

P.G, it’s not about the powder per se, it is about loading 1.9 grains over max in a 223 plus a slight jam. That sir is a recipe for disaster no matter what powder you use. But yes a lot of this sh*t got started with the kiss, find pressure and rock on even if you are 2 grains over max crap.
Pharm got lucky, found out the hard way he did. Good buddy of many years lost his right eye and spent 2 months in the hospital from a bolt hitting him in the face from an overload.
