What's the verdict on AR Comp for .308?

[GhostFace]

I did a search and I did find any data on it. I've read info from alliant saying its made for heavy bullets in .223 and .308. They say its temperature insensitive like for Varget and meters better. I just wanted to how does it perform with 175s in .308 and does it meter pretty well?

I'd be curious too, particular since .308 AR is 16". I've always loaded (mostly Varget) for .308 bolt actions using 175 gr. or 165 gr. bullets. As long as it meters no worse than Varget, which isn't terrible, I'd try it out.

This wasn't much info: http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/powderlist.aspx?type=1&powderid=35&cartridge=80

http://forum.accurateshooter.com/index.php?topic=3794427.msg36119664#msg36119664 - says it's smokey and accurateshooter.com says it's a reformulated version of Reloder 15. I got my most accurate results ever with RL-15 but couldn't stand cleaning up after it. With my AR I think I'll pass on this one.

I don't have anything to report on AR-Comp withh 175s, but I have had some promising results with 168s. I was working on some loads with it, but got side tracked by my new .223. I will get back on the .308 soon.
