Having come from a pretty steady diet of CFE223, some testing over time with 8208 and now AR Comp, will steadily migrate my loading for 223/6.5GR/308 over to AR Comp. Have had very good results with the former two powders, have no issues with them, but ARC just seems to work in broad modes with 6.5GR. An older lot's sweet spot with 123gr Sierra's was 27.2, new lot is 27.4, both of which layer well into the comments noted in above posts. If I can sort out posting pics, my two Satern barrels really take to ARC, and am testing further in Bartlein 20, Wilson Combat 20, JP18 and AR319 Lilja. Have always been in search of one load to fit all, have gotten close with CFE, but have the feeling ARC may be the 'one'.
