Impressions with Autocomp?

[Sommerled]

Haven't bought any yet but my big jug of 231 is nearly gone and Powder Valley is out of it. They have 8lb jugs of Winchesters new Autocomp and what I've read about it seems impressive. Seems like a good choice to use for many pistol rounds and it purports to get a bit higher velocity without higher pressures. Also, is it the same as other Hodgdon powder? e.g 296 & H110.

Anyone with practical experience care to comment?

I believe Winchester Autocomp is more similar to Alliant Unique/Hodgdon HS6 in burn rate and faster burning than Hodgdon H110/Winchester 296.
