69gr Sierra Match King HPBT load?

[moellermd]

Does any one have a good load for H335 or Benchmark. I have not seen one on the Hodgdon site.

My 1997 freebie Hodgdon handout lists 23.5gr. for a 70 gr. bullet. Wouldn't that be a pretty good starting point?

I tried H335 but found it was not as accurate in my heavy barrel AR as H380. I have settled on H380.

23.5 of H335 put the first three shots into a single cloverleaf hole for me on Sunday. The next two shots screwed was as a nice group. (Purely shooter induced)

Have a good one,
