I agree with everything that's been said about RE-15 and Varget. They are great in the Whelen. But 2000-MR is "greater", by about 100FPS, meters great, and accurate as heck.
A lot of folks scoffed at the data published by Speer and Sierra using it in the Whelen but I decided to test it and I am convinced.
You'll enjoy reading this Tannhauser:
Shooters Forum thread on 35W and 2000-MR
You have to wade through a couple pages of scoffing before you get to the actual testing.
Attached are a couple examples.
Looking forward to your 35 Whelen Carbine build and I think you are doing a great job preparing for it.

Thanks Rex. That’s a very interesting read on Shooters Forum. I’m going to give some 2000-MR a try when I start working up loads.

In my day job I’m an aerospace engineer, so I really appreciate your thorough documentation and attention to detail when relating your results.
