H322 w/ 55 gr Vmax in 223 Rem

[SSN Vet]

I picked up a couple pounds of H322 back during the powder scarcity, but later found my favorite 223 H335 powder.

Now I'm trying to work up an accuracy load for my 22" bull barrel build and thought I'd give the 322 a go.

Looks like it is mostly recommended for 55 gr and lighter, so I'm planning on loading up the Hornady 55 gr VMax with it.

Looks like 23 gr is the "traditional" load for this, so that's where I'm starting. Bu I'm wondering if any of you guys have had especially good luck with or had a pet load that I might try as well.

(yes I know no two rifles are the same and I have to work up to obtain perfection.... but I've had good luck going with other folks pet loads and like to solicit for them as alternate starting points.)

I was once recommended a max charge of H322 with the 40 grain VMax. Haven't tried it but was told it was an accurate coyote round.
I do use H322 with my .222, I tried the Hornady recommended load of 22.2 with a 50 grain bullet loaded 0.002 off the lands and have never deviated. So I know what you mean about pet loads.
