I am just starting out but I was thinking of trying to work up some loads with the new 123SSTs. I am concerned that there may be some reason (that I don't know) why this powder is not used in AR-15s? Sorry to be so ignorant but I appreciate the help.
It's too slow for the best velocities with the Grendel weight bullets. Someone tried it, and if I remember correctly, it was running the 123's at about 2200-2300, which is very close to what you would get with Varget.
