[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 938246, member: 51650"] H322 is not for anything heavier than 55 grains. When the original Surplus H322 was sold by Hodgdon's rumor was it was a DuPont/IMR bulk powder they bought from the original loading Eugene Stoner designed just for the 223. Since all Military small arms ammo was supposed to use Ball Powder TM they had to quit loading the DuPont. So Bruce H. was their dump site. It is faster than IMR 3031 but the short fat grains meter very well. Lights off with any primer and even the old Surplus stuff I have left still burns clean and consistent. Don't over look the great 55 gr FBHP bullets out there. Every maker knows they have to be made accurate as the 22/250 and up Varmint Shooters expect excellent accuracy at extended ranges. Varminters frequently shoot upward of 200+ rounds in one outing and the bullets have to perform. Most 55 gr FBHP's are dead nuts accurate. KB [/QUOTE]
