I couldn't get 55gr Hornady FMJBT to group under about 2" with H335. I tried 23.5 - 25.3 gr of H335, but with ~26gr of Varget I can get about a 1" group in a 14.5" 1:8 barrel, this is a compressed load. I have recently been playing with the 53gr V-MAX and so for the best group I've got was with 25gr H335, I've tried Varget and 4198, but H335 has been giving me my best results. These loads have been tested in a 20" 1:12. I just received my order to 55gr Z-MAX I am anxious to try. They are a flat based like the dogtowns so expecting good results from them.
