I have finished my first lb of H335 that I've been loading for my 5.56 (not hard to use a pound, . . . : ( )
Anyway, I like how H335 meters very well, but I don't like, even at 25 grains, I have a very difficult time seeing the powder level in the case. That is as close to max pressure as I'll do with a progressive. Since I'm using a progressive, I like being able to visually inspect each case on the go. With pistol's, I'm able to eyeball about how much powder is in there pretty close.
So, I guess I'm looking for a slower burning powder. . . . This is mostly plinking and maybe hunting, so I'd like to keep my bullets cheap for now. Which means 55grain and 62 grain fmj's with some more expensive stuff for hunting.
I don't want expensive powder, and I want it to meter well.
Thoughts, ideas, recommendations.
