H335 & Alternatives

[Sterling Shooter]

I've had extraordinary results from my AR based .223 Service Rifle using a handload to the tune of 25 grains of H335 under a 53 grain SMK stuffed in massaged Winchester brass sparked with WSR primers. Now, it appears, I can't find a lick of H335 in my area. Any advice?

If you somehow stumble on WC844 it's essentially the same stuff, I use starting loads of H335 data for it.

BLC-2 is reasonably close, you might get similar results. It's temp sensitive though.

Benchmark works well for me.

It seems that Ramshot Tac is similar as well and easier to find.

Powder Valley had Ramshot Tac in stock as of 4/18 and I've read nothing but good about it. As soon as I finish off my H335 I'm going to use it as it's quite a bit cheaper and also works well in 308.

Had good luck with AA2230 for .223. Little faster burn rate,shoots well in my AR's

I liked 844 surplus better for my .223 loads than H335. I couldn't get the accuracy out of the H335 that I did out of the 844 surplus.

I just got some TAC to try.

I have seen H335 starting to come around again in the Richmond VA area

Kinda surprised it hasn't already been mentioned but 748 has been a go to powder in 223 for years.

Give Benchmark a try.

WC844, WC846, H335, and BLC-2 are supposedly all the same powder, labeled by their burn rates.
