When I started reloading .223, I couldn't find any H335, which many people apparently like quite well in that application.
I did find some H322 which has worked wonderfully for me--accurate, good velocity, I like it a lot. Only drawback? Doesn't meter well.
I also tried 748. Works well, meters very well, but it just doesn't produce like the H322 does. I loaded up some rounds this weekend at the listed max in my Sierra manual (26.5 gr) and I was hard pressed to get above 2850 fps in my M4. And it just about fills up the case, so that seems to be that.
So I'm wondering--is H335 the compromise between the two? Meters well but produces well too?
Of those who have compared the three, what did you find?
EDIT: Shooting 55gr FMJ.
TIA.
