Yep , I used it for the first time the other day . I was using it in a 223 Wylde Service rifle load development . The cases on the lower end of the charge spectrum came out REALLY sooty all the way to the extractor groove . It seemed to clean up at the higher charges .
I was testing AR-comp the same day with all the same other components .
69gr SMK
CCI #400 primers
LC-10 cases
Both powders seem to shoot there best group about the same size but AR-comp shot consistently smaller groups through out the charge weights . The other thing that was different when shooting CFE-223 was that my gun reacted different . "what does that mean"? It's hard for me to explain what I was feeling and hearing . For what ever reason my buffer spring had a more pronounced sound after each shot and the recoil felt more like a push then what I'm used to . If I had to guess I'd say I had just enough gas to work the BCG .
All in all it seemed fine with the VERY limited test I've done so far . I plan to try some 77gr smk with it and also run it in some 308 loads . On the other hand . I got such a good vibe from the AR-comp I bought 3 more pounds already .
