Yeah, I know, it's for race guns and such and probably not ideal for what I'm doing but....
These are interesting times. Snagged a small amount of this to supplement my first line powders. My goal is 9mm RMR 115 gr and 124gr Berry's for casual plinking loads, possibly 125 or 158 gr .38 Spl cast.

Has anyone had decent results with this powder?
 
I utilize AutoComp and have over an extended period of time. Basically utilized with the 9X19mm with 124Gr-FMJ. In fact I loaded 100Rds, this day on my Dillon SDB press using CCI small pistol primers, mixed head stamp cases with the previously mention 124Gr FMJ. I'm going to do a run of 1000 total. The last time I reloaded with AutoComp was in 2017 with a total of 3000 rounds which is now depleted thus we are back to reloading. I've had no issues. My load burns clean and is accurate. In the 9X19mm I like AutoComp better than W231 and or Unique. AutoComp from a powder measure meters consistently and previously mentioned burns clean. I like it better than W231 and or Unique. .
 
I bought several pounds of it years ago due to its versatility.
It may not be "perfect" in everything, but it is supposed to work in a lot of applications.

I have been happy with it in 45acp for plinking loads.
 
WAC is right in the same burn rate area as HS-6 and Silhouette. The best application for heavier bullets in 9mm, 38 Super and 40 S&W. Allows for safer pressures. It's not just for comp'd race guns!
 
It’s a great powder imo. I’ve been using it in .45 Colt under 250 grain MBC cowboy pills of all things. In my testing it was among the most accurate and cleanest of the many powders I tested. I have no doubt you’ll find a good load for your purposes.
 
I use it for 124gn 9mm and 180gn .40 and have had good results with both. As others have said, it burns clean and is accurate. I use it mainly for plinking, so I can't speak to its ability for utmost accuracy, but the rounds hit what I aim at and the guns function reliably. It meters well too.
 
An under-rated powder, IMO. Picked some up on the initial release. Great for most anything from 38 spl & up to 45 Colt.

I've run it in approximately 38+p loads in 357 brass. Accuracy was pretty good.
I really liked in in my Nagant. It gave good velocity without swelling the brass in the cylinder gap.
 
Shoots great in my Gold Cup Trophy with 230 FMJ and 200 SWC. Probably will be trying it in 9mm since I'm searching in my current supply for something to use in a newly acquired 9mm.
 
I started using Auto Comp during the last component shortage,when it was the only suitable powder available in my area.I now use it for 45 ACP,9mm,380,32ACP,and even mid range 44 magnum loads. It burns clean and gives me decent accuracy. Good stuff.
