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. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

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.

I use it in my 223 50gr bullets loads and in two of my 6x45 loads, 55gr and 70gr bullets.
Big guns can be loaded down to little gun levels. Little guns are always little guns.

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. http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=121&t=600574

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.

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,
Sycamore 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.

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