H322 powder for .223
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.

I use H322 with 69gn smk's all the time with great results.
1/8 twist barrels

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?

Do not waste your time on H322. There is none out there. It comes from ADI in Australia.
H322 with medium wt. bullets is great.
H322 was the darling of the BR crowd way back when the 222 Rem. held court. Now, the 6PPC seems to hold court. Shooting VV N135.
