"NEW" H322

[Lucky Shooter]

Has anyone tried the latest version of H322 and seen any significant differences
between older stuff and the new brew -----except for the terrible price increases ?

Thanks for any info.

Thread 'New H322'

Jun 12, 2025

Has anyone found any significant differences between the H322 made in the '80s and that which is available today? What adjustments would you make in your loading to compensate for the differences?
I had the perfect H322 load for my custom 6mm-PPC built in the mid-'80s. After reading there was a change in the 322, I'm thinking I should go to N133 and forget the 322~!
Right or wrong?

This may be helpful, it is off a 204 Ruger forum and of course since H322 is in fact an ADI powder made in Australia and rebranded {AR2219} the “Big Beautiful Tariffs” are adding to the cost as well as a general cost of just about everything….

I have some of the new batch, but haven't shot anything loaded with it yet. I will report back. It is primarily for lighter bullets in 223 in my application.

Given I am likely 20-30 years younger than the average age of most on this forum, I unfortunately will not be able to offer any comparison to the "old" H322.

No doubt but the price went way up after Hodgdon monopolized the powder market. VV is imported and has stayed relatively stable. Hodgdon greed drove me from Hodgdon, not trump

I shot around 130 groundhogs with the "new" in my .223 Contender handgun. Shot 3/8" at 100. Saw or felt no difference in my Contender.
Looks like the whole world is going to Hell. Be nice to bring back the 70s & 80s.
