Magnetic recording medium, magnetic tape cartridge, and magnetic recording and reproducing device

The magnetic recording medium includes a non-magnetic support, and a magnetic layer including a ferromagnetic powder. An anisotropic magnetic field Hk is 12 kOe or more, a center line average roughness Ra of the surface of the magnetic recording medium on the magnetic layer side is 1.2 nm or less, and a ratio θr of a contact angle θ2 with respect to 1-bromonaphthalene, measured on a surface on the magnetic layer side after a 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane immersion, to a contact angle θ1 with respect to 1-bromonaphthalene, measured on the surface on the magnetic layer side before the 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane immersion is 0.95 or less.
