Ar comp?

[dbro822]

Picked up a pound to try, anyone have anything good or bad to sayabout it? Also looking for any good starting loads for 55-70gr pills out of a 16" AR. Starting to run low on H335, about 3 pounds or so, and a small amount of varget left. Hope this crap will settle down soon. LGS still has a few different powders to try but only in 1 pound cans, so I am looking for something to try out and then play the waiting game for a 8# jug to come available. If it matters I load on a Dillon S1050 and love how well H335 and W748 meters, can anyone say how AR Comp runs thru a Dillon? Happy loading and shooting to all.

I picked up a few pounds, loaded some rounds but yet to take to range. With the new 75 foot indoor range at the business, been going to range a lot less. I did get out and send some sample rounds down range with the new CFE 223 with good results.

AR COMP is a good powder, likes higher grain bullets. So it works amazing in 308. Pressures are fine in my remington 700.

Was starting to think I picked a bad one, I mostly run varget for 69gr MK's, but was thinking about the AR comp in it meters well. Thanks for the info beefyz, I must have over looked the data on the lighter stuff when I checked the website.

Imported, temp stable, meters like varget. I use it in 308 AR, performance is about like varget
