acoop101 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have the chance to stock up on this powder for a very good price but I am starting to wonder if it is a red headed step child since Alliant doesn't seem to have very much information on it. I am wanting to load up blasting ammo and I am wondering if anyone has come up with a load like the 24.5 grains of TAC that runs well and shoots well. Even for blasting ammo I have been using the 55 gr. varmint nightmare from midsouth since they seem to shoot as well as anything and do one hell of a job on ground squirrels and paper targets. If anyone is using this powder if they are willing to share what is working for them I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybayonet Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've used it. Nothing special, nothing bad. I use it with 55gr plated out to 100m with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppe Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've become kind of fond of AR-comp. I've used it in my hoser ammo the last couple years. I've been using 24gr if it under a 55gr Hornaday fmjbt. It will hold 1 MOA with my Nordic barrel. I'm going to try 23gr of it this year. I don't think my hoser ammo needs to be that hot. I've also been experimenting with 60gr Nosler BT for 300-600yds. I played with Varget and AR-comp because I had both. I can't tell a major different between the two powders. If I can keep sub-MOA with a bulk powder I already use for my hoser ammo, it makes it an easy decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbkky71 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've been using it for years shooting NRA/CMP highpower rifle. Switched over from Varget and haven't looked back. It is a bit dirty, but gives plenty of velocity. Shot out of a 1-7.7 twist 20" A2 model Sierra 77gr 22.4gr ARCOMP CCI450 primer LC brass 2.26" OAL ~ 2720 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock34shooter Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 AR Comp is what I used for 75gr Hornady match bullets. I believe AR Comp is best for heavier bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedupflyer Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I have sub MOA results with AR-Comp and Hornday 55g FMJs. Doesn't meter as well as Tac but still meters pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
