Hodgdon H355

[oli700]

finally loaded up some H355, ended up at 25 grains under Hornady 55 grain FMJ Boat Tails, COAL 2.21" crimped......they shot real well, grouped decent, cycled great and felt stout. Wish the Chrony still worked but they should be in the 2900+ fps range
This powder metered like a dream as well.

oli...

I really like the stuff a lot. You're correct it meters real well.

It's funny, but just about ANY powder I use for .223/5.56 is a 25-grain powder drop.

24g for 3031

I'll be taking the H355 near 27 with 55gr fmj-bt this weekend if my chronograph shows up......have you done any speed testing with the 355 Dave ?
