    Does ARComp feed drop better then Varget

    Loading 223 in my 650 can sometimes be a pain at the powder drop station if I dont bump the powder drop as the powder can pile up on top of the case and then spill everywhere. Wondering if ARcomp feeds any better and is as good a powder or if yall suggest a different better feeding powder for a progressive. I love the way varget works just hate the way it drops.

    AR comp is apparently RL15 that became slower when a bunch of work was done to make it as temperature insensitive as Varget. It "should" be a very similar powder to Varget, even closer than RL15 all while being as short grained as RL15. Should be perfect for what you are looking for but still won't meter as well as ball or 8208. Expect .3 gr variance at worst.
    weg: That device is obsolete now. They replaced it with wizards.
    frank: Wait a minute. There are more than one wizard? Is [are?] the wizard calibrated?

        interesting, for me 8208 meters better than varget, but not as well as ar-15 comp on my lee set up. i like comp a lot.

          I use H335 in my Dill 650. The only times I get powder spill/mess is when I forget and don't pay attention to the primer alert.
