Finally found some 2000MR and was able to order 2 pounds. Also 2 boxes of TSX 300 grain TSX bullets.
According to Speer 416 Remington data claims 2000MR with a 350 grain Speer bullet can achieve 2800 FPS. Probable get 3000 with the 300 TSX

never heard of these ones, must be high energy powders.

I've read it's pretty close to CFE-223.

I have a can, just haven't used it.

2000MR gets a 180 gr partition to 2800 fps from a .308 in a 24" barrel with good accuracy. Wish I could find some more.

It's claimed to be very good in the 9.3 x 62 also. Never tried it as I'm quite satisfied with RL-17 which is a tad slower than 2000MR I believe, according to one chart at least.

It gives a good boost in velocity in my .35 Whelen.

Does the increase come with any disadvantages? Throat wear, brass life? I am assuming not.

Not that Ive experienced. That being said, I also havent used it in a firearm yet that has a thousand rounds down range

I am able to push the 350 grain Speer bullet to 2757 FPS with 97 grains in Remington cases lit by Federall 215 primers in a 24" Bartlien 10 twist barrel.
With 93 grains behind the 350 TSX I am getting 2715 FPS with the same cases and primers

416 Ruger 400 grain bullet. Highest velocity Nosler and Hornady load data. Easy to get 2400 fps with a 20" barrel.

I also found it very easy to get 2550 fps with 350 TTSX in the 20" 416 Ruger, using 2000-MR.

It’s the schizzle with 120gr GDs in the 6.5 Grendel too.
