Just got back from an all-day session at the range where this powder out-performed H355 and 4198 by a fair margin in my Howa 1500. Using a 60 gr. SMK in Lapua brass with 22.7gr of the stuff, I was getting sub-MOA grouping consistently. I am most pleased :D Anyone else a fan of this powder?
 
i heard it isnt the same as the old 322 but is still good stuff. I have a few lbs and might have to give it a try. I think Walkalong uses and likes it. (must be good):)
 
I use it in my XP-100R pistol to shoot half-scale silhouettes. So far, it is the most accurate I've tried. I use a Sierra 52 BTHP match over 23.4 grns 322, with a Rem 7 1/2 primer in a Lapua case. I am presently trying IMR's 8208 XBR, and getting some pretty respectable groups. You might want to give it a try too. It is similar in size/shape of 322, and flows well through a measure, just like 322.
 
Hmmm, that XP-100 is an interesting looking weapon. And, yes, H322 does cost a bit more than other powders, but so far I don't mind. Since I'm only using it in my range gun, a pound goes pretty far.
 
23.1 grains pushing a 55 grain v-max yeilds great results for me out of a Savage model 14 with a target crown cut onto it. Tiny groups at 100 yards when I do my part, like it better than Benchmark and it isn't bad either.
