I use it
I use H335 for the lighter weight bullets in both 308 and 223. In 308 I use it for 155 grain amax's for the heavier weight bullets I use Blc2 in both calibers. I also use Varget for both, but when the pound of Varget I have is gone I'll just stick to Blc2 and H335.

I have tried it in 06 w/147 FMJ BT's, and it worked well. In 308 I have tried its near identical burning rate twin over at Accurate Arms, in the form of AA2460, and it worked very well with great velocity and load density. I just looked over my load/chrono data, and the exact same charge of H335 and AA2460 gave almost the exact same velocity results from the same 06 mentioned above.
Not that I can confirm this, but it is said that H335 is very close (maybe the same) as some lots of non canister WCC844, so this would make it at least a good choice for the .308 to easilly duplicate M80 ball loads, and still pretty good for those 165's. Looking at the Hodgdon data, the velocity to propellant weight looks good, as does the density. I think you will find H335 nice in .308, and for sure in .223 if that matters.
Good luck!

I've been loading 147-gr pulled M80's with 42.5 grains H335; WIN LR primer, in various mil-surp .308 brass (lately 75 OFV). Meters very well in my autodisk. Accuracy was good in my FAL and it ejects the brass 12" to my right with gas on 4.
Of course we're talking minute-of-bucket accuracy here, but so what? It closely duplicates .mil surplus ammo which was what I was after. No clue how it shoots in a precision rifle.
I don't see H335 as all that bad, specifically compared to BL(c)2/Win748 or Benchmark. It fits nicely between 3031 and 4895.
Otherwise 25.5 grains in a .223 is what I use it for.
For the "accurate" stuff I load with Varget. 46.5 grains with a 165 Hornady SST.
