I will be loading some 77g Nosler match soon for my Colt 20" AR15 and i think i need something hotter than Varget??

Someone told me H322 would be great,it's hotter than 4895,H335

Any suggestions on what to use??

Thx..

    Hotter???????? with powder it is faster and slower. Generally the heavier the bullet, the slower the powder you want. That being said Varget IMHO, is the ideal powder for 223.

    H322 is fine for light bullets in the 223, but not heavy ones like a 77. H322 is relatively fast for 223 rem. Varget and BLC2 are towards the slower end.

    If you wanted to try a ball powder try BLC2
