ARComp powder

[wilecoyote]

Got some ARComp powder. Read a few good things about it.

Anyone willing to share some wisdom?

Thanks in advance.

Several loads for 120 gr and up in Vol 2 of the Grendel reloading handbook

Wiley Here is a link to an excellent post by one of our members. http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showt...highlight=hoot I have tried the 123 A-Max with 27 gr of AR Comp and found it to be very accurate in my rifle.

Thanks Rugerfan for the info. This is the same load data - easier to read.

Awesome everyone, thanks a lot. It helps a lot.

The article I am referring to is in the Sept. 2014 issue, but poli that is a good article as well. Any time one can expand the information base is a good thing. This article reviews AA new hunter version. It wouldn't do for me to win the lottery. My wife would probably kill me for adding to the collection.

Oops... sorry, jumped the gun - it's not the same load data and article... the table Rugerfan posted contains more info and the article I posted is dated March 2014.

I shot some 123 A-maxs today loaded to 2.240 COL over 27.7 grains AR-comp in my short throated liberty barrel that I fire-lapped a little (2.265 to the lands) into half inch 5 shot groups and 3 shot groups in the .2's and .3's with rem 7 1/2 primers.
AR-comp is the most accurate powder I've tried in 6.5Grendel and 264LBC using the Hornady 123's.
They shot in the .6's to .7's before the fire-lapping.

Be sure to use 120gr and heavier bullets. This powder and 107 smk do not get along
