Reloader AR Comp powder used in place of Varget/RL15??

[emerson]

Not asked by for recipes, start low and work up etc... Curious if anyone has used this powder in other than 223/308 applications. Might get a good deal on some to for plinking loads in 30-06/ 375 H&H etc. Says it's more temp stable than RL15, with a burn rate similar to Varget, which isn't cheap.

vARGET IS A VERY USEFUL SPeED RANGE, SO IF COMP IS SIMILAR, IT WILL BE USEFUL. aNd cheaper is better.

That's my thought.

I recently picked up an 8lb jug of AR Comp. Have so far only tried it in one 223 load with a 70gr Nosler RDF. Accuracy was good

I think it should be suitable in lighter 30-06 & 375 loads

If CanAm gets more of the D4064 in, it works well in anything Varget does and is $130/5lbs

No AR comp available after all, but 5# of RL17 for $125 here in town. 50% off primers and powder left at the local WSS.

RL17 good for high performance 30-06 / 375 H&H loads. Accuracy may or may not be up to snuff

Lawry Shooting Sports (Ontario) has AR Comp listed as in stock - $284 per 8 pounds.

Most of it will be for offhand practice anyway. Also grabbed 5lbs of RL15.

I'll keep that in mind. Getting sale price of $22-$25/lbs for RL15/17/19 here for a few days.
