Is anyone using this powder instead of Varget or RL-15?
Any comments on it yet?

Yep. I'm using in my .308 and absolutely love it! It's given me the best of accuracy and velocity combined in my .308.
I used it in my .308 win and it did not do well. Used in a dpms lr 308B and a custom rem 700 308. accuracy was ok..... could not get velocity out of it with 155 gr. SPMK or 168 gr. SMK signs of high pressure before i could match any of these powders. IMR-4064 out ran it, Varget out ran it, and CFE-223 out ran it. also meters poorly as it is a stick powder. meters like IMR-4064. might be better with a different weight bullet. i made some hunting rounds with the rest of it and will not buy it again, it is expensive and i can find way more suitable powders for the .308 win.

Yeah, I forgot to add that. I use 178's from a custom Rem 700. Gave me right around 2700fps.
I bought a keg of this and split it with a friend both of us used it in out 308. I have a armalite ar and hes using a rem700. For him it works very well, better than rl15 which was his go to powder. I dont like it u my ar, and from what ive read on other forums it is not good for gas guns. But i use it in my savage 6.5 creedmoor with pretty good results so far. I havent been able to put it through a chrony yet but velocities should be on par with varget/rl15
