A method for producing a magnetic recording medium comprising: dispersing at least a binder and a ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder to prepare a magnetic coating; and applying the magnetic coating to provide at least one magnetic layer, wherein the binder is at least one of: (a) a binder comprising 0.2 to 0.7 meq/g of at least one polar group selected from -SO3M, -OSO3M, -PO(OM)2, -OPO(OM)2 and -COOM wherein M represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal or ammonium; and (b) a binder comprising 0.5 to 5 meq/g of at least one polar group selected from -CONR1R2, -NR1R2 and -N<+>R1R2R3 wherein R1, R2 and R3 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, and the ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder has an average tabular diameter of from 10 to 40 nm and a water content of from 0.3 to 3% by weight.
