H-205 ?

[joneb]

I have about 1.5 lbs of this powder, 1 lbs unopened container and one 1 lb container with a 1/2 lbs.
I've had a hard time getting info and load data for this powder, my Dad used it for loading 30-06 Spr likely 150-200gr bullets.
My brother has the 06 and does not reload, my rifle is a .308 Win. I'm thinkin H-205 maybe to slow for .308 Win?
Again it's hard to find much info, I could ask Hodgdon but thought I would try here first.
Thanks.

I believe it is a grain or so slower than IMR 4350. I once read that it was between H 414 and N-160 on a burn rate chart.

Thanks AJC1, that helps. My .308 Win. is a 1:12 22" likely not a good powder for that
Maybe good for 6.5 Creed?

That powder was gone before the creed was released so you have grt or quickloads for options.

I happened to be a big fan of H-205, and I think it's a bit slow burning for 308 sized cases too...

Speer No. 10 listed H-205 for .308 Win with heavy bullets:
