I've been away from M4C for awhile. Glad to see a farily recent 77gr thread and markm and others still dropping knowledge.
I've been using 21.6gr h322 with cci450 (and/or cci41) with 77gr CC and/or SMK. From my KAC LPR Mod 2 18" 1:7 the everything has been good with mv around 2700 (I think, been awhile since I've chrono'd to be honest), and slightly better than MOA. With all of this 22.8gr talk, I may try to run mine on up and see if the groups stay tight. but...
The dilema I'm facing is my 8# jug of H322 getting lighter and lighter and I have not been able to source any h322 replacement.
I have several other 8# jugs of different powders on hand but none of them seem ideal for this application.
I have AA2230-C (old militarys surplus powder that uses same load data as AA2460), AA2200, CFE223, H4350, H4198, CFEBLK.
I know the H4350, H4198, CFEBLK, and AA2200 aren't going to work here. Those are for my 6.5CM and 6.8SPC
I've seen some 77gr loads with CFE223 and AA2460 tho. I'd like to give them a try. I am going to shoot my LPR in more matches this year and the fear of running out of H322 without a ready backup load is a scary thought.
I guess I could always buy more powder of a different type if in stock somewhere, TAC, Varget, 8208XBR, StaBall, maybe one of the RL variaties. But being able to use something I already have onhand would be nice.
