It was Elmer Keith's " gallery load " for the 41 . 5.0 grs of Red Dot works equally well and fills the case better .
Trail Boss would be another good choice when punching paper and NO chance of double charging a case .

Great, thank you for the comments. My goal is light target rounds. So I like the idea of 4.5 bullseye but that would leave the 41 mag case largely empty but ok then I guess. Have you made any experience with W231? Equivalent to 4.5 Bullseye maybe ~5.0 gr W231. I am not familiar with Red Dot but I see the slower Blue Dot mentioned often which I was going to try at some point. Thanks again pointing me towards the fast burners.
