H322

[jwv2001]

Are you running light loads? Most powders burn dirty until the pressure gets up. I use H-322 and it burns very clean for me

26.5 gr. in an 223AI for 3450 fps. 50 gr. bullet. 26 gr. N133 same velocity, no cleaning.

Same here, always found it to be clean burning.

Man I am just about out of h322 has anyone seen any anywhere for sale.

I bought some from Midsouth in spring of '22. I think that was the last shipment/batch.

 

[shamrock12]

I just recently asked my local supplier which sells nationwide and was told the last time they received a shipment of H322 was in 2020.

 

[ABRUNO]

Haven'tseen 322 in a long time. My understanding is that it's no longer made and never will be. Unfortunately.

This is not true.

 

[Ackman]

This is not true.

Hasn't been available for quite awhile now. If it will be again, I'd sure like to know about it and when.

 

[Lucky Shooter]

Thank you for the possible encouragement ABRUNO.

I'll continue to look----gives me more incentive to hit the gun stores.

We have not had any since 2021 but it's just not available It's not discontinued. At least for 2024. Not sure what 2025 has in store for us yet.

The Scheels in Tulsa has n133 in stock. I would suggest that.

 

[dhagerty40]

it is not discontinued. Hodgdon powders that are hard to get such as H322, H4198 and H4895 are all made in Australia.

So, this is a supply issue. Most likely caused by the short supply of nitrocellulose.

Remember the sequence when it comes to supplies. Military ammo comes first, ammo makers come second and the consumer is last.

 

[Chris kloster]

I have a bunch of 322 and 4895 for my smoke pole

 

[RabbitSlayer]

Probably better off to switch to N133 since it has been widely available for a long time while everything else is a unicorn.

 

[Andy Work]

Bruno's has N133 in stock at a good price.

 

[shamrock12]

Wouldn’t N130 be a closer match to H322? They’re right next to each other on the burn rate chart.

OP, where are you located? I have 2 one pounders, plus maybe half of a 8# bottle

Im in iowa. Would love to buy some if youd be willing to ship (at my expense of course).

Used to be a staple of mine; I had a habit of trying to minimize the number of powders I used and maintaining bigger stocks of them. In today's world that is a mistake. Several of my go to powders are now unicorn dust. I have a last big jug of H322, it's reserved for stuff where it is harder to replace or the cost of reworking loads is higher. For example I'll never use it in 223 again.

If you don't mind my asking, what caliber(s) are you reserving it for? I'm not trying to be a smart *ss - like you, I have a limited supply and am curious. Right now, mine is reserved for my triple deuce shooting 52 FB-Target bergers.

Totally understand the concept. In my case, the 6 pounds I have left in my last 8-pound jug of H322 is reserved for my 7BR XP-100. Still a firm devotee of Bob Milek's favorite loads and haven't found any powder that works better with my chosen bullet weights - 100-grain HP, 120-grain Hornady Single Shot Pistol (thankfully have a lot of these packed away too) and assorted 140 and 150 grainers. Plenty of other powders for my .223s and etc.

The one round I simply don't want to replace it in is a 358 wildcat, but that's super low volume. But there is literally zero load data for this round so I'm reluctant to have to approach a new powder.

However I used to use in in a whole range of variants of the 223 and Grendel cases. So I kind of took it from one of my highest volume powders to lowest. Yes, I could continue to use it in some applications but if I will have to replace it anyways...why not just move forward now.

Too bad you are not in Ohio. I have ~4lbs I believe and I hate working up a load with dead end components!
