Anyone ever use H-335 for this caliber? I have two pounds of it and rarely use it. Is there any data for it?

Sure you can use H 335 in the 7.62x39. There is data available at Hodgdon's web site, http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp. Lyman 48 and Speer 13 also have data. You can also find some data here,

I personally don't like 335 in my 7.62. I couldn't get acceptable velocities and I found it very dirty, YMMV.

Thanks, I had the downloaded PDF manual from Hogdon that didnt list that. It's either use it or use it for fertilizer. Thank you!

h335 is my favorite propellant for 125grn or heavier bullets in x39mm. With 125grn bullets your velocities tend to run slower than what other powders can achieve...BUT....in my gun accuracy is phenomenal when combining a grain from max charge of H335 a CCI BR4 primer with a 125grn speer TNT

This would be for plinking only,and maybe for use with cast bullets, too. Anyone ever used 335 with cast? Nice shooting, krochus, I can only hope my vZ-58 can do as well!
