At some point I ended up with a pound of H335 powder which I just found hiding in my powder box. I only have a Hornady reloading manual, and I see numerous j-word loads using H335. These will be used in a 1:7 or 1:9 5.56nato barrel, has anyone used H335 with their AR with good/acceptable results? I seem to hear more use of 4895. Appreciate your comments. Thanks.
Dont own a ar anything but thought about trying it in my 45-70s
Those who would trade freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both
H335 is a very common powder in .223/5.56 many people (as well as myself) run it with 55 grain FMJ bullets in the 24.5-25.0 grain range in their ar-15’s.
Go the Hodgdon web site they have Data for H335
55gr BTHP w/ 25.0gr H335 in my 18" 1-7 twist AR carbine is a beautiful thing.

This is for 40 grain V-Max or Nosler Ballistic Tips but 27.5 grains of H335 is as close to a magic load that I have found. Never tied it in a 7 twist but in a 9 twist or slower I have yet to find a rifle that it doesn't shoot well in. That is my go too load for prairie dogs. I just opened my 9th 8 pound jug of it.

H-335 is my go to powder in the 223-5.56 cartridge. I got lucky and bought an eight pound jug last month. Gp
+1 for H335. Great speed and accuracy and what a fireball from the muzzle. In larger than .223 cartridges I use magnum primers for ball powders.
H-335 is a very good powder in the 45-70. GpOriginally Posted by Ozark mike
Welcome to CB Hutch556

Good for jacketed bullets, couldn't find cast data
Yes I use it all the time. Great in 55 grners! I’m Not home so I don’t have my load book. can’t tell ya specific data other then That is available in the lime in AR book, the lime in 50th addition, And the Lee book.

as far as I know the m193 round has been loaded as nato ammo using mc844 which is the same powder as h335
correct this if this is not correct
You are correct. WC844 is basically H335 with additional flash inhibitors.

I haven't used any H335 in .223 cases, but it is my go to powder for .35 Remington in a Marlin 336CS.

I just yesterday loaded some .30 Remington with H335 and 150 gr Speer FP bullets. I expect it to work, I've used it since 1972 in .222 to 8x57.

335 is probably the most popular 55gr/223/5.56 powder around
.....especially for progressive reloading machines

Not that I’ve seen.
25 gr is a 90%+ load density, perfect
