Magnetic tape having characterized magnetic layer

A magnetic tape comprising:

• a non-magnetic support;
• a magnetic layer including ferromagnetic powder, non-magnetic powder, and a binding agent on one surface side of the non-magnetic support;
• and
• a back coating layer including non-magnetic powder and a binding agent on the other surface side of the non-magnetic support,
• wherein the ferromagnetic powder is ferromagnetic hexagonal ferrite powder,
• a center line average surface roughness Ra measured regarding a surface of the magnetic layer is equal to or smaller than 1.8 nm,
• an intensity ratio Int(110)/Int(114) of a peak intensity Int(110) of a diffraction peak of a (110) plane with respect to a peak intensity Int(114) of a diffraction peak of a (114) plane of a hexagonal ferrite crystal structure obtained by an X-ray diffraction analysis of the magnetic layer by using an In-Plane method is 0.5 to 4.0,
• a vertical squareness ratio of the magnetic tape is 0.65 to 1.00, and
• a logarithmic decrement acquired by a pendulum viscoelasticity test performed regarding a surface of the back coating layer is equal to or smaller than 0.060.
