Finally got the Stag 10 308 home. :) I'm going to start with H335 powder because it meters well and I have lots of it. Bullets used will be 165gr or 168gr.

Is anyone using H335 in Stag 10 (or other AR10) and how is it working? Cheers

Excellent powder for semi's.
I use it in my Ar15, M14 and M1 Garand loads.

(Actually I use WC735 but its identical to H335 only 5% faster, so I use H335 book loads reduced by 5% to match 335 and have had great results!)

A tiny bit too fast for longer barrels and max charges with heavier projectiles in a larger capacity case in gas guns. Bolts are totally different.

I prefer H4895 for .223/.308. It meters "ok" in my Lee thrower, but turns my Lyman into a kernel chopper. As for H335, I've used it in the past, but never been that impressed with MY results. I started using H4895 in my M-305, and had such good results (.223/.308) that it's the powder I'll be using going forward.
 
Ball powders generally give poorer group size compared to the extruded powders but they are easy on semi autos. H335 is 5% slower than WC735 which is a military ball powder.

For all intents and purposes they are the same except for the 5% speed difference.

ThereforeH335 is a great choice to use in your STAG10.

We arent talking bolt guns and the OP asked about H335 not opinions on whats better.

I've read that 3 times, still not sure how it relates to shooting a Stag 10 c/w 18.75" bbl and 165 gr bullets?

If I can't get where I want with H335 then some variety of 4895 will be next on the list but not for now.
 
I use the WC735 in 308 gas guns with 150's... functions great, accuracy is decent, should be fine with 168's.
I don't use it for max velocity loads, little to quick for that. Mag primers help it burn cleaner.
If Canam gets any more D4064 that would be a good combo for you, and it's priced great at $26/lb

I have 5 lbs of D4064 and it's another option if H335 doesn't work out.
 
Varget > All other powders

But seriously though, if you get an adjustable gas block most powders can be used.
 
WC735 is no longer available unfortunately. I finally used up all of my 21lbs of it and now use H335. Good for 308/7.63 and 223/5.56 in semi autos. Not the very best for accuracy maybe but good enough to duplicate service round quality or better.
