The only real downside to 41 when comparing it to 10mm Mag is the bullets available for reloading 40/10mm is about 4 times the number offered in 41 caliber. I reload for 357, 10mm and 44 Mag, and the 40/10mm has more bullet options then even the 80 year old 357 round. In jacketed 40/10mm I load 135, 155, 165, 180 and 200 gr JHP and several of those weights also in TC or ball, then you go to lead and I have found HC in WC, SWC, Cone and a bunch I've never used in 145, 155, 170, 180 and 200 gr bullets. Now there are 210 and 220 grain available in jacketed, but never used them.
