It's not that new (been around for about 1 1/2 years) so I'm sure there are some that have tried it. I don't hear much about it so it probably isn't any better than TAC, H335, or 8208XBR but it's likely gonna depend on what your trying to do with it. Are you looking for tiny groups, a good varmint load, or just a fast bullet that is 'accurate enough'?

Quoted: Has anyone used this new powder? I've read lots of good things on the internet about it, but those are mostly ads FOR the stuff. Loading 55, 62, and 69 gr spitzers and HP's for my 5.56's. I tried it in 223 with 69 gr SMK's in my 16 inch AR. Win cases, Rem 7 1/2 primers. Both IMR-8208 XBR and CFE 223 were more accurate in my rifle. 10 shot 100 yd groups were running around .750. The AR Comp 10 shot groups were around 1.125 to 1.50. My rifle likes other powders better. You will never know until you try it in your rifle. Welcome to Arfcom.  |
