After talking with one of the guys at Cabelas I decided to try some 2000MR to see if I could eliminate a few powders in my collection. Varget is pretty much my goto in 308 and I have had really good results with IMR 4064 in my 243.
Ive got a few days to gather some data and get some loads built up to try. I have a handfull of rifle powders and if anyone would like me to check a pet load of yours vs the 2000 I might be able to help. I have 2 308's available for testing, a 16" AR-10 and a 28" Pro-hunter. Bullets are a little limited, I only have 168 and 175 BTHP. With 243 I have a 26" barrel and 85 SMK and 100 BTSP bullets.
Im really excited to get out and test the claimed velocities to see if its worth all the hype. I will be chronographing these loads so comparison will only be by velocity not accuracy as results will vary from rifle to rifle and so on and so forth.
