Good quality 41 mag bulk ammo

Looking for suggestions on good quality plinking ammo for 41 mag since I don't reload. Recommendations? Thanks! 👍

Whew...good luck on that. It's why I started reloading.

You do realize Georgia Arms is "reloaded" ammunition, not new manufacture.

I just looked on their website even the lead SWC load is 50 cents a round. The cheapest I saw on ammoseek was 48 cents. That's not including shipping. When I said good luck with that to hoser, I wasn't trying to be facetious, I've just been down the same road, gave up and just needed a good excuse to start reloading. I'm not sure of my cost per round right now, but I know it's quite a bit less than .50 plus shipping. It will drop even more once I start to reuse my brass.

I'll second the Georgia arms stuff. 50¢ a round is about as cheap as you are going to find.

It's not reloads. It's put up in new brass. I shot 250 rounds of it that came with my 657 when I got it. Considering the price of new .41 brass it's at least a good source of brass for when you do reload. The stuff shot really well at 15 yards offhand.

Look again, they advertise that they buy fired brass. No where do they advertise this as new component ammunition. In the description and all their information they do not say they use all new components.

Reloaded is not too concerning for me as long as it's by a larger reputable company and not a garage guy playing around! 😂 I remember I **** some Miwall in the past and never had a problem.

Always gotta be careful. I've heard good things about Georgia Arms, but you see the varying opinions above as to the composition of their ammo. BVAC also had a good rep and their ammo almost destroyed one of my 64s. I understand BVAC is no longer in business. Caveat emptor.

My brother had some Georgia Arms .41 Magnum LSWC ammo. I shot
some of it in a couple .41 Magnum revolvers. Worked fine and was
accurate.

If I wasn't reloading I'd get some more of the GA ammo.

As others have stated, my Dillon 550 is my source for bulk 41 ammo. I have never seen "inexpensive" 41 ammo.

The last time I purchased ammo from Georgia Arms I had a choice of new or previously fired brass, I ordered new a received Starline.

I actually don't see 41 Magnum ammo in my area any more. I am just very grateful that I not only reload my own, but I cast my own bullets. Fortunately, I have a few hundred pounds of wheel weights available for casting. Excluding the cost of the wheel weights that I purchased about 10 years ago, it would cost me about $2.50 a box to roll my own non magnum 41s, which I tend to prefer. I never factor in the cost of my time when reloading, because I find it relaxing and therapeutic.
