I bought a 5 lbs jar of H322 in a local transaction, just wonder how old it is. I know H322 is a popular 6 PPC powder at one time but not available in 5 lb jar anymore. It is in plastics jar with metal cap and blue label. Label shows lot # t1092.
Powder looks good and paper label looks clean, I guess it was stored well, but no idea how old! I loaded some in 7.62x39 at 25.5 gr and 26.0 gr near starting load with Nosler 123 gr bullets, shoot great in my 7.62x39 AR. Look at the Hodgdon load data site, seems like it has similar load data/velocity to H4895 in 223 and 7.62x39 while it is a faster powder.
