Default Magpro powder

Some time ago, I decided I just had to have a 270 WSM. I couldnt find one (im out west, they seem to be a hot ticket in my neck of the woods) so I found a 7mm WSM at a dandy price. Model 70 and all, I bought it. My goal was to get a 140 grain bullet at around 3200 fps consistantly. After trying a few other, 7828 and 4350, I saw this magpro powder. I did try it and have been sooimpressed. I am staying 3-4 grains below the max load and still cranking a constant 3350 to 3375 fps with a 139 grain Hornady sst. The accuracy of this powder surpases all the other powders I have tried. Really amazing actually. Anyway, my pal tried this in his 300 win mag and he tightened his froups up a bit, but more interestingly, is getting more fps than expected and with less range in deviation. It seems to be the powder for my WSM, if you shoot a short mag you oughtta try it! EJ
