Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles MR2000 and the 7mm-08

Just picked up a can of this powder and wondering if any one had any info on it ? I have 140 btips, partitions, sierras and 145 speers to try it with .

No but will be interested in your findings

Hornady lists 47.0 gr as their max with their 139 gr bullets. I loaded some 139 Horn SP's at that capacity in my wife's 7-08ai and got good groups and about 2940 fps. Work up to near that with your bullet choices, but be aware that sometimes there is a 2 gr or so drop off from a 139 gr max to some 140 gr bullets. You should get very good velocity with that powder in your 7-08. It cooks the 120 gr bullets right along as well.

I use 2000-MR exclusively in the 7-08 now.
46.8 grains behind a 140 NBT = 2940 in a 22" barrel. Average SD 7, tiny groups in at least three different guns.

140NBT=bomb if you hit heavy bone. 140NAB is the catz azz. They withstand double shoulder hits at 3200+ and distance of less than 50 yds. Meat loss is minimal. If you gonna shoot NBT in 7mm anything go 120.
