I have most of an 8lb keg of Herco hanging around. I was happy shooting Unique under 230's when I got it, never did get it to shoot as well as Unique. Fast forward a handful of years, I tried some Power Pistol, it seems to give me as much speed as I want, and matches Unique for accuracy. Like I said, I really WANT Herco to shoot for me, just never have had it shoot as well as Unique or PP.

It's a lot slower than the AA2 you're used it, a lot slower than Unique of Power Pistol for that matter. It falls just below AutoComp on most tables, so slower than HS-6 and AA5. I've played a bit with both CFE Pistol and CFE 223, not sure I've seen the reduced fouling they promise, but then again, I guess I haven't ever complained much about fouling. Nothing wrong with it, lots of speed with heavies, but like Herco and 800-X, my Unique bar was set pretty high for accuracy.
