I’ve seen Lyman’s load data listing Hodgdon H335 powder primarily for 123-grain bullets in the 7.62×39mm cartridge. However, I’m sitting on plenty of H335 and have some Hornady 150-grain soft points I’d like to use.

I am thinking of trying 27 grain. But I have set everything up for a large batch run would be good to get any inputs.

Normally, I run 23 grains of CFE BLK with these heavier bullets, but I’m curious if anyone here has experience or data running H335 with a 150-gr bullet? I’m especially interested in real-world results, pressure signs, velocities, or any tips.





Appreciate any insights!
