I found an abundance of this at a small outdoor store.
I've never used it , curious if anyone uses it.
And what calibers would it be great in?
I did look at the load data but still curious.

I’m using it for a 6.5-06 with 140s. I have a friend that’s using it in a 338 rum with great success

Have used Magnum in quite a few cartridges with excellent results, including the .240 Weatherby, .257 Roberts with 120-grain bullets, .25-06 (again with 120s), .257 Weatherby with 100-120 grainers, 6.5x55 with 140s, .264 Winchester with 120-140s, .270 Weatherby, various 7mms with heavier bullets from the .280 AI on up, .300 Winchester and Weatherby Magnums with 200s. It also worked great with 400-410 grain bullets in my .416 Rigby.

Tried it in my .257 Roberts with 115 Partitions (at Mule Deer's suggestion - thanks) and it shot wonderfully. Fast too. I'll have to give that 6.5x55 with 140s a try that he mentioned above. And maybe the .280 with 160s.

I use it with 139 and 142 grain bullets in my 6.5 PRC. Good velocity and great accuracy.
