I just ordered some MagPro to try myself. I haven't had any experience with it yet but, I plan on trying it with some 180gr. SST's in my 300WM. Been hearing some good reviews on it so I'll be interested to hear what this group has to say.

I have been using Magpro in 300WM for several years. It equals 7828SSc as the most accurate powder in my, and my buddy's 300WM.
I have been using 78.0 grains of Magpro with 210 grain bullets -- we started out with Nosler RDFs but they seem to have gone the way of the Dodo -- currently 210 SMKs at 3.581" OAL in my rifle for a 0.020"jump. Figure 2,850 FPS mas o menos.
One really nice thing about Magpro which I didn't expect -- it loves standard large rifle primers, no Magnum primers required. Low ES, too.
We shoot this load to 1,800 yards, FWIW.
PS: It meters very, very well. I recently recorded 26FPS ES in some fireforming loads using Nosler 190s. If I'd never fired the fourth shot that ES would have been 12FPS. Thrown from an inexpensive Lee Perfect measure, too. Mind you, if I can throw out one of five shots I got ES of 2FPS using CCI Std LR primers (weighed charges). 10FPS for five shots. Nothing wrong with Magpro in 300WM
