I've picked Varget over R-15, these are the only powders I use for my heavy bullets in my F/TR .223 Rem., N-135 for the 75-77 gr. bullets.

I tried AR Comp with 55gr and 75gr bullets and found it is noticeably faster than RL-15, my standard powder. I get good results with about 10% less powder than RL-15.

Although I have not tried it with 90s, I think it will be too fast for optimal performance.

It seems this powder is ideal for service rifle barrel lengths. For longer match rifle barrels, it seems to works OK up to 80gr bullets. The lack of temperature sensitivity is a definite plus.

I don't have extensive experience with this powder, its too new.
