Experience with AR-Comp

Gentlemen,
As the lack of reloading components continues, I am exploring other propellants to replace my all time favorite (Varget). I'm down to about 2# (> or <) of Varget, and looking forward, I could be lacking components to load the required number of rounds for future planned matches, let alone practice ammo.
My requirements are specialized, but a general opinion opinion is welcome.
The cartridge/ projectile is,
308W 30" barrel 1-12 TR,
Berger 155 Hybrid Target or Sierra Palma (#2156)
As I consider various propellants, none of which readily available, I have noticed that Alliant products seem to appear more often then most.
I would like to learn of any ones experience with AR- Comp, primarily in larger cartridges such as 308. If all you have used this is in 223 or others, I'd still like to know your opinion.
This product has been described to be between RL-15 & Varget as far as burn rate is concerned, with improved temperature tolerances along the line of the various Hodgdon Extreme products.
I have experimented with (in no particular order) with varying results.
Benchmark
VV N140 & N150
H-4895
IMR 4895
Leverevolution
IMR 4166
Thank you in advance.

(I would post you a link to his .223 or 6.5 Grendel videos but I am not sure it is within this site’s terms)
Alliant 2020 manual says 43.2 grains should give you 2920fps with your bullet choice.
