.41 Magnum / 41 Special Load Data Center
Keith bullets...have to see if I can find the information again but before he died Keith collaborated with someone to redesign his bullets so they had a larger meplat. The molds are now available through NOE. The weight of the .410 bullets went from 220 to 230 grains. It was a very interesting story.
Some new developments:
.41 Special brass is now available through Starline.
.41 Special ammo is available through several custom loaders like Reed's Ammo. Great ammo especially for short cylinder guns like the Taurus Tracker and FA 97.
