I need to test AR-comp with boolits in Garand, M1A, etc

[fatelvis]

After playing with my new favorite toy (Quickload).....I'm seeing that AR-comp keeps coming up with good fill %, great velocities, near complete barrel burn, moderate max pressures, and most importantly muzzle pressures right in line with the favorite powders currently used to drive the Garand/ M1A's actions (about 4,500-6,500psi). Now, if I could just FIND some! Lol Has anyone else been playing with AR-comp? BruceB??

works great in my LR-308 carbine or rifle. Good luck finding any. Also non-temp sensitive & $$. I'll use it for jacketed, not cast.

Why wouldn't you try it in cast loads?

[popper]

$$$$. I don't shoot matches so I save the $$ powder for jacketed. I expect it would work good with cast.

It isnt any more expensive than any others, by me. I found it for $29/lb at Bass Pro shops locally.

I bought an 8 pounder because it was the only thing I could find to load 223/308 at the time. Haven't gotten around to opening it even yet, but feeding my M1A is a big priority in the matter so I'd be interested to hear anyone else's input as well.
