Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles H-322 in .223 Rem ?

Just loaded up some 223 loaded with some blue 45 grain XLC with H-322, its all I had.

How is it for speed ? I figure it should be accurate...

I use it in my 222 rem, and backing the MV in based on drops recorded at various ranges, I was sporting approximately 3350.

Accuracy? I can't complain out to 300 yards on 4 shot groups.

I can like it better than alotta stuff currently in vogue.................

I only use 322 or 335 in 223 w great accuracy.

You boys are gonna talk me into '335 yet...............

322 is some good stuff, make no mistake about it

I hate H 335.. only powder I have had in a 223, that screwed up TWICE for me..25 grains of it with a 55 grain bullet.. a real bread and butter load... it also is about the best powder if you want to produce a big fireball at night...

now back to H 322... I use a charge of 25 grains of it in any bullet weight from 45 to 63 grains.... and it is super accurate..

If I was down to only being able to have several choices for a 223, H 322 would be there... same with the 22.250.. works real well in that cartridge also..

That was funny.

Thanks!

What other "nuggets" might you care to share?!!?.................

Laugh at it all ya want..

but H 335 caused KaBoombs twice in a Ruger 77...

with all the other powders available on the market...
plenty of alternatives exist..

and if you don't believe what a fireball it has... try shooting off a round in the dark...

322 shot well in my CZ 223 with 50g V-maxs and 53g Barnes (great) with mid level loads. Velocity was only 2900 once I chronied it.

I tried some mid-level RL15 loads and velocity is now 3200 with same/same accuracy.

H355 shoots well with good velocity in my 700 VLS but I did notice a dramatic shift in impact in cold vs warm temps. I just keep it zero'd for warm weather chuck hunting now.

a guy gave me two pounds of h322 for free and its all i load now in my 223's. my load of 24.5 grains with any 55gr bullet duplictes velocity and accuracy of monarch brand ammo that academy sells. i like it

YOU caused the issue. I've shot over 150 pounds of '335,with nothing but a grin.

You are dumber than I thought and I was weighing it heavy.................

I share Seafire's distaste for H335. It fireballs, leaves a very stubborn fouling behind and pressure spikes badly in hot weather. A normal charge of it froze the bolt of my rifle and swaged a belt onto the 223 case. I haven't used it since.

H322 is very good in the 223. It doesn't produce the highest speeds but is extremely accurate. My pet load with it is 24.0 grains under a 50-gr bullet. I have had good luck with the Vmax, BT, Blitz and TNT. It gives 3000 fps in a 14" barrel, more in a longer one and shoots collar-button groups. One-patch cleaning, too.

You gals are on a roll. I've a couple/few 223AI's setting now with over 2k rounds of '335 through them,since they've seen a patch.

Groovin' on the "normal" charge welding your schitt shut too!

Have a few 223AI tubes that'll hang an honest inch at the 500yd line,if the wind cooperates. Shoot it in (10) barrels so chambered and am awaiting the first sign of "weirdness".

Though admittedly,I know my way around a rifle,which is more than a few legs up on your ilk....................

General rule for any newcomer here: Whatever Big Stick says, you may confidently believe the polar opposite. Think of him as the Nancy Pelosi of shooting. Only his screen name is true; he bludgeons any and all with his claimed superiority while in truth he has the abilities of...well, a stick.

Tell yourself that which you gotta believe,to salve how little you savvy.

I bat an uncanny connect percentage and I see that you've now 28,753 tries to find me mistaken.

GOOD luck on that!.......................

Here you go Sugartits.

Admittedly,I'm a whole bunch good with a rifle,if only to keep your false hopes in check.

Problem solved.

Only move you had,as you was well in over your head..............

So we can expect to see you shooting one of these supertubes in your upcoming challenge against Burns?
