I've been loading the .41 since about 1974 when I got my first 58. At this point I have Winchester, Remington, PMC, Federal, Midway and Starline brass. I have found no difference in the quality.

I've sorted brass by headstamp, shot it mixed and the groups never changed.

Loads:

Target: 8.0 grains of Unique or 7.0 of HP38/Winchester 231 with any cast or jacketed bullet from 200-250 grains. Velocity will be in the 900s depending on the weight.

Full: H110/Winchester296 (same powder different cans)

170 Sierra 26 grains

210 Jacketed 23-24 grains

250-265 cast 20-22 grains

285-305 cast 18-20 grains.

With full loads in H110 it seem if you put enough powder in the case so that the base of the bullet is sitting right on top of the powder so there is no air space the loads show no pressure signs, have a very low standard deviation and extreme accuracy. The load I was shooting today from a 657 Mountain Gun was 23 grains of H110 with a 210 Sierra HP. Empties just dropped out. Velocity is 1325 fps.

Berry's Bullets Berry's Manufacturing makes an excellent plated .41 bullet. I also use a Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Dies on the final stage...
