H-335 and 55 Grain Bullets in .223

[Bad Bob]

Would like input from anyone who has used H-335 in .223 Rem, particularly with 55 grain bullets. Real experience only, no opinions or theoretical input please.

What are you looking for specifically? That combo is pretty ubiquitous to say the least.

I load 223 with 25gr of H335 using 55 gr Cam Pro bullets with good results. Works good with Berrys and Hornady bullets too
They are used in all my semi auto 223 rifles

Same load here ! It just work. I use that load in an ATRS and a Bren 2.

H-335 is available and much cheaper than Benchmark and H4895, both which are very hard to come by and pricey as heck if you do find them. H-335 burn rate is one step below Benchmark so these are the reasons I am considering it. Looking for near max.load out of a 24" Varmint gun. Have a huge supply of Hornady 55s on hand.

I’m using CFE223 in a 18.7”semi with 55 ballistic tips. Getting a little over 3000fps and under 1 inch groups

H335 is a good powder, I use it with 55 gr Hornady’s

I load 25.0 gr H335 behind the Hornady 55gr SP Varmint, it's very accurate and runs right on 3100 FPS out of my CZ 527, I have the last 200 loaded now and am switching over to the 53gr Vmax as I was just using up a supply of the 55gr that I had kicking around.

What kind of accuracy do you get with those 55s and do you find 25.0 is the max?

Just load a ladder and shoot it, that will tell you... My Siberian seems to like 24.6gr H335 behind 55gr Hornady.

Thanks guys for all the info, I think I will give H-335 a try.

My .223 is real accurate with H335 and 53G hornady

Good ! H335 is a good powder and works well in a LOT of Cartridges ! RJ

I have never been able to get the same accuracy out of he 55gr SP that I get out of the 52gr HPBT, however the 55gr SP will shoot under 1" 5 shot groups at 100 yards. 25.0gr of H335 is very close to the max in my CZ.

I have always used 26.5gr in my .223 loads with 55 grain. Very good round for my 200 yard work so far. I purchased a cooper rifle about 2 years ago in .223 and they use h335 for all their test rounds and accuracy examples that come with each rifle. I loaded up their same load for my rifle and it was bullet in top of bullet at 100 mr. It’s a proven great powder

I am trying to load some 50 and 52 gr Speer as well as some 53 gr Vmax right now with H335. I notice online south of the border that everyone is recommending around 25 gr with bullet weights from 50-55.

Seems to me that this on the low end of the scale for h335. My Sierra book says I can go way higher than that. Is this because most guys are running through an AR with gas port issues at higher speeds? I usually try and find a node around the middle of the min/max. So far I have been trying in the 26-27 gr range of H335 with no luck.

My 223 load is 25.3g with honady 55g bullets.
My CZ loves the load
