Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do.

Any thoughts?
Want to load some 62gr & up and have a chance to buy some locally.

H322 has usually been considered a little fast for heavier (> 62 grain) bullets in .223. For a long time, it has been a standout powder with 50-55 gn. bullets in 100 to 200 yd. matches.

Get some and try it in your rifle with the heavier bullets. It may work well with your barrel and twist rate. If not, then it is usually very good with 55 grain plinking loads in just about any rifle I have tried them in.

If it was a good deal, I'd snag any powder that could be made to work with the calibers I load. The stuff is too dang expensive anyway.

Is $47 a pound a decent price?
