H-335, 25.5 gr with 55gr bullets.  Very accurate, never chrono'd  load.

Are you not having overpressure issues?

 

I loaded up some 25.0 grain loads for my bolt action and had the primer come back so hard it stuck to the firing pin.

Pulled down WC844 can be had for $245 shipped for 16lbs.  It is basically H335. 

 You have me very interested. I found 16lb for somewhere just over $200. What load are you using? 

I have a h355 load of maybe 24gr (I’d have to go look for exact).

I have never used it, but I have been looking at it.  Is that $200 shipped?

American Reloading has WC844 on sale right now 15% off.

 

Comes in at $208.24 for 16lbs shipped.

 

I just placed an order and will give it a shot.  Probably won't be till early spring as I have Tac to use up and want to work up with a Chrono.  Don't want to to deal with that in the cold and snow.

I just got in on this deal myself.  I have about 6k 5.56 cases to load up this winter.  I am thinking about getting 5k Bobs' Bullets 55gr FMJ to load with this powder.  Brass processing costs aside, component costs to load .223 will be under 15 cents each.   Primers 2.5 cents (less actually since most were bought on sale) 7.7 cents per bullet and powder about 4.65 cents.

I also agree that H335 is a very good choice!:)

Another vote for H335 as a great hoser powder. Under 55 grain fmjs out of my JP I was connecting consistently at 600 yards as well
