I've seen loads with this bullet for R15, Varget, AA2230, H4895, Benchmark, etc.. but nobody seems to be using h335. I'm stuck with it as that's all i have, but i can't find any load data on it anywhere. from what i HAVE found is a load from 22gr to 24.9gr but it was relating to a different 70gr bullet, and I'm fairly new so i don't know if it would make any difference or not. also, I'm shooting a Stevens 200 in .223REM.

Sierra's Fifth Edition has data for H335 and their 69g Match Bullet. They used a 26" Remington 600 with a 1-14 Twist for their data. They start with 23gr and go up to 25.7gr as a maximum load. I would load the 70gr Berger like the 69gr Sierra. Start with 23gr and work up until you hit an accuracy node.

I have found, like a lot of other 223 shooters, that Reloader 15 and the 70gr Berger are a great combination.
