Haven't tried it in other cartridges yet but it works great in the .225 Win, .220 Swift and .370 SAKO/9.3x66.

I've used it with mixed results in the 7mm-08 and .257 Rbts.

Have had same results with 2000MR as MichiganScott in what he tried it in. But, have tried it in several more cartridges. I generally have a variety of brands and different grain bullets to try a powder with. Basically, I like the powder, but with my variety of rifles, cartridges and etc., kinda hard for me to give it 4 stars and etc.

Being a spherical powder, do like the way it meters. Use Lee dippers I've altered to create 31 dippers to charge my brass. So, if my powder chart for my dippers shows the #28 dipper throws 38.3 grains of 2000MR....then, unlike a stick powder, I'm pretty sure my dipper will throw a very consistently accurate charge of powder 2000MR everytime..
