I’ve been searching the internet and local gun stores hoping to stumble on some RS Magnum with zero luck. Anybody care to share a secret where some could be found?

I hate to hear that. It works well in my 264 with 130s at 3300 fps.

Yep, I have a great load with it using 180 gr TTSX’s in my .300 WM.

I bought a bunch during the Great H1000 Troubles. smile Still have over 10#. I have a very good 6.5 SAUM load with it, and am playing with it in 7 WSM right now. Seeing good things.

It sure meters great! Behaved well when I did my pressure run-ups in a couple rifles. Velocity was there. Guess if it’s disco’d I either need to just settle on a good load and burn it up, or sell it. Not gonna be a long-termer apparently.

If anyone really wants it I might could be talked out of it. Unless I hit a holy grail load with it in the meantime <g>. Then I’ll just burn it up.

I’ve got enough to last the rest of my life. However I hate to see it discontinued.

Per herschel34 (OP) in Ask The Gunwriters forum a couple hours ago



“I spoke with someone at Hodgdon today and they told me they are NOT discontinuing Magnum powder production. Grand is essentially the same burn rate, “more” temp stable, and has an agent to reduce copper fouling.”

If true, that is great news. I’d still love to find some more Magnum though. That and Hunter have become unicorns lately it seems.
