Default 41 Cal Wadcutter

Im looking for some full wadcutters for my 41 mag but am having a hard time finding any.
Does anyone have a good sorce they can direct me to? All im needing is the bullets for loading, not loaded ammo.

Thanks

I have never seen them but my experience is SWC bullets seem to be as accurate in my guns.

There have been a couple of moulds available from Lyman, Lee and some custom makers but I have never seen bullets available. Penn Bullets used to have a 170 I think SWC available but not sure if they do anymore...

What do yu plan on doing with them...just target work?

I agree with Superman. You might try Cast Boolits and see if someone has a mold that would cast a few for you.

Yep. Just punch holes in paper. I love using them in my 38's and thought they might be good in the 41 also if there are any out there. I currently use SWC now.

Yes, the .41 170 gr SWC is still available but not sure when right now due to heavy demands for other bullets right now. I will at some point in the next few months I will make a short run.

Western Bullet also lists one.
If they're not in stock, just call him and see when they're going to run.
If you want 1000, he will likely run them immediately.

I had a .41 wadcutter mold a few years ago, but let it get away. I've had such good accuracy with a 220 gr. RCBS mold that I don't cast any others, now.
