its performed like a champ all across the board...I just ordered four 8 pounders of it recently... but a retired Marine Buddy begged me to let him buy two off of me... so I'll be replacing those soon....been ordering it out of Powder Valley...


I've got an 8 pounder of AR Comp coming also, a buddy's been real happy with it in applications where Varget works. I have a good stash of Varget but I wouldn't want to count on it for high volume shooting, it's too hard to find on a consistent basis. AR Comp seems to usually be available.

I'm weaning myself off of temperature sensitive powders. Like Mule Deer says, there's no reason use old tech temp sensitive powders anymore when more stable ones are out there.
