Heard that Accurate is coming out with a new powder specifically designed for the new short magnums. It's a slow burning ball powder.

Anyone got any info on this powder?

MAGPRO, the new smokeless powder from Accurate, is designed especially for the new range of very efficient short magnum rifle cartridges. MAGPRO has been designed to produce optimum velocities at nearly full capacity in these "modern" calibers. There is currently no other ball propellant in the U.S. market of equal burn rate. MAGPRO has just made long distance hunting as efficient as the caliber it was designed for.

And better yet, because of its uniformity of shape it has the flow required for progressive loading machines. MAGPRO is also a good choice for the standard magnum cartridges. For loading information or help locating a supplier near you, call 931-7294207.

This powder will be ready for shipment to the suppliers by end February 2002.

Is there any loading info out on the powder yet? It could be worth a try.

A new powder specifically tailored for short, efficient cartridges. Amazing. What a time to be a handloader.

I can still remember when your powder choice was either 4350 (no question as to whether is was IMR, H, or AA, just 4350) or 4831 (not Short Cut or IMR, just 4831).

Good thing we have computers to keep track of all this stuff

Sounds like a spherical competitor to the very useful RL22.

Bring it on!
