Been doing some reading about this and just purchases several lbs of it to try out but thought I would ask if anyone has been using it and what their on it was. I copied and pasted below the website info given. I plan to use it with my 6x45 and 25x45 using 70gr + bullets. From what I read it very close to the old R-12


Specifically developed for use in AR-style rifles
Ideal for reloading heavy .223 and .308 match bullets
Produces consistent pressures and velocities

Developed specifically by Alliant Powder for use in AR-style rifles, AR-Comp delivers high-performance and reliable ignition with every shot. It’s ideally suited for reloading cartridges that use heavy .223- and .308-caliber match-grade bullets. Works equally well for high-volume AR and traditional rifle shooting. It delivers consistent pressures and velocities across a wide range of temperature extremes. Made in Sweden.
 
I'm interested in it also. I use TAC right now and really don't have any complaints, but IIRC the velocities of the AR-Comp with 60+ grain bullets was a bit higher with less pressure. I have yet to see any on a shelf around here.
 
I was able to do some moderate begging and was able to put together a decent sized powder order to soften the HazMAt fee from Cabelas online as they have it in stock. So I got 3 lbs of it in with the rest of the powder order I placed.

What I was interested in was that its supposedly temp stable as well as what you listed as a reason to try it. I miss spoke earlier when I compared it to R12.

We will see as I also ordered 500 70gr Sierra Blitz Kings in the .257 and 6mm 70gr Sierra Blitz Kings from Sinclairs. I really like these Blitz Kings from Sierra and Sinclair had them for $104.00 per 500.
