Before I order any of the Accurate LT-32, is it really only for lightweight bullets, or will it work with 75 and 77 gr in an AR?  I know this probably isn't a fair question, because it s pretty new, right?  But Mongo is not the guy who should be testing new powders, believe me! And the price is scary, but then again, so are the empty powder shelves.......

Accurate's website says it's OK for .223

No kidding at $182 for 8lbs it must contain real gold dust or something.

I don't think I like this 'trend'.

It is a powder that is trying to appeal to the benchrest crowd. They will pay a premium for a premium powder. In benchrest, one goal is low SD and this stuff is supposed to be good for this purpose.

Thank you all for the replies!  The load data doesn't seem to indicate this powder is gonna push the heavy .223 pills out at a very high velocity?  But this situation we are in makes me feel "painted into a corner" and if I want to reload, I have to buy what's available and at their price.  On the bright side, perhaps this powder is accurate (pardon the pun!), relatively temp stable (single base) and supposedly a short grain extruded shape, so maybe it doesn't hang up across the mouths of my .223 cases!
