steve4102300 WSM and MagPro
Has anybody out there tried AA MagPro in the 300WSM. I am going to be loading MagPro with a 180gr Nosler Partition and I would like to know what you guys think. I have read that MagPro works well in the 7MM Shorts, but, I am getting mixed reports in the 300. Some say it is to slow for the 300.
Thanks
Steve

Alaska Bush ManI have found Reloader 19 and IMR 4350 with the 180 Nosler and Fed 210GM primers excellent....and I settled with RL 19 @ 68.0.

R-WESTHi steve4102. Welcome. Are you the same guy I talked to in that 7-08 thread over at ReloadersNest?
R19, W760, and I4831, with STANDARD WLR primers seems to work best with 165 Hdy BTSP's and 180 Hdy Spires in my M70. There was a thread in here some time ago about primers, and the standard version seemed to be the primer of choice.
OOOPS!! You asked about MagPro. Sorry, never worked with that one. I see Accurate mentions that it MAY not be the best choice for the 300. I did try some of their MR3100 with the 165's, but got pressure signs with the starting load!!
Check out
http://www.shortmags.org/shortmags/forum/default.asp for some more data. You've probably seen one of the problems about the 300 WSM is data that's all over the place - MAX loads can vary by 6 or 7 grains with the same weight bullet and the same powder!!
