Default .41 Magnum Plinking Ammo?

I'm picking-up a .41 mag mountain gun.

For those that don't reload, what .41 mag ammo do you use for plinking? Is there a light load out there?

I'm also assuming all new N frames are round butts? What about the new classic series models?

Thanks.

I do have a box of that enroute, but that was for my werewolf problem.

It did seemed reasonably priced. But I was hoping for something in the 900 fps range.

Georgia Arms...they have a 210 cast SWC at 950 fps that should be just like the 8.0 grains of Unique load I use in my MG...

It's also a lot less than jacketed ammo for the big name companies...
