GadoliniumH335- Anyone??
Anyone use this powder for anything other than either 223 or straight-walled magnums like 444 or 458 etc?
Was this propellant designed with the 223 in mind?
thanks

ricciardelliI found it the powder of choice in 39 different loadings. From 17 Mach IV to .444 Marlin.
In addition I found it useful in around 587 other loadings...

300winnieI have used in my .243 with 70 grain ballistic tips. Burns pretty dirty though.

mbogo375Works well in the 7.62x39.

R FlowersWhile H 335 is a classic powder for the 223 Remington, it has lots of uses. It burns similarly to H 4895 but offers the convenience of a ball powder.
I have had success with it in the 7 BR cartridge in XP-100 Remington pistols and in the 30-30 Winchester in rifles.

MAUSER88Great all around rifle powder. I use it from .223 through 444 Marlin. Use with confidence.

<eldeguello>YES!! I have found that it develops max. velocities in the 7.62X39mm with both 150-grain spitzers and 180-grain round nose bullets. Accuracy is excellent, and preessures SEEM acceptable in both the SKS and the CZ 527 carbine.

BoCash3I recently used H-335 to load the most accurate 200 JRN and 158 gr. JSP .35 Remington loads ever in my scoped 336 Marlin. I could not believe the groups I was getting from an old lever gun.

H-335 is outstanding stuff.. I found it to be THE powder for best performance and accuracy in 30/30 Win, 308 Win, and 358 Win. No other powder that I have tried, and I've tried quite a few, can give me the results that H-335 does.

StonecreekH-335 (WC 844 in milspec) seems best adapted to smaller case capacities. I use it in .222, .223, and .222 Magnum. I have used it in .308 Winchester, but it seems not to have as favorable velocity/pressure ratio in this slightly larger case as the similar BL-C2/WW 748 (milspec WC 846). It also seems to reach maximum pressures before optimum velocity with light bullets (55-70 gr) in the .243.
Don't have any experience with loading the 7.62x39, but I would think, as others have pointed out, that it would do well with the heavier bullets. Also probably a passable powder in the .30-30. It is substaintially too slow for something as small as the Hornet.
