What's your bet? H335 @ 22gr, 22.5gr, or 23gr for 75gr Hornadys

Gents,

After much reloading on my Co-Ax for some precision stuff, I'm back to doing some load work on my Dillon 550b. I'm running H335 for 223 Rem 75gr and 77gr pills. I was actually able to load all the way to 24.3 gr before I got pressure signs but I'm going to back it off a bit as QL says that's way over max. So, I'm going to load up about 20 rounds each of 75gr Hornadys and sit them on top of 22gr, 22.5gr, and 23gr of H335, respectively. Any takers for which load will be most accurate (hopefully sub-MOA) in a 16" barrel? Since I'll be using this ammo interchangeably in my LWRC, frankengun, and my SBR, I'm just looking to get a decent load that is reliable. How much H335 are you using for your heavier pills seated at mag length?

Am I the only person using H335 in their Dillon 550? What powders are you getting to meter well? I've already tried Varget and that wasn't a very good experience. I've got some 8208xbr sitting around that I'll try once I run through my H335. Still, I can't be the only guy.

Load up 23.2 of 8208 and forget about it.

Duly noted, but I still need to use up that H335....

Why not do an OCW work up? For the three rifles do one for each. If you are lucky you will find one load that works well for all 3.

As I understand it, H335 doesn't work that well with bullets of that size. Seems to work a lot better with bullets 62gr and below.

I ran a 55 grain Hornady A-max seated at mag length with 24 grains of H335. Shot extremely great out of a 20 inch. I loved that round.

If you want to get rid of that H-335, I will give it a good home.

I use it loading 55 gr plinking rounds in 223. I can use more.

Ditto. H335 for 55gr BT-FMJw/c, 24.1gr . . . 16" AR really does love them. Not so much with 75gr out of a Sako 24" . . . 23.0 of CFE223, 22.0 or 24.5 of N-140 for those works for me.
