    High velocity ammo and the Model 41

    We're shooting Federal 1240 f/s through ours, have never had a problem. Big reason is it's almost impossible (and REAL expensive) to find SV or target .22 around here. - With one exception. I bought 3 50's of WW SV recently in the local 'Everything' store (not Wal-mart, surprisingly)...

    :eek: Caution all - I can not recommend that load I mentioned; 2.9 gr Trail Boss. I bought myself a new toy that I've wanted - ever since I started shooting - a Chrony. The 4506 with 3.2 gr Trail Boss and the 250 gr Lyman 452424 LSWC shot 598 - 627 f/s over five rounds, nice and predictable -...

    Yeah, most of the guys at the club who shoot ACP use W231, and that's what drove me to Trail Boss. W231 is both smoky and stinky - and the ventilation is very noisy, so if possible we don't turn it on; I come out of there coughing my throat out (but I just keep going back for more! :D ). I...

    Hi all - first post here. I ended-up on the S&W forum in a roundabout way. "SHE" and I used to shoot a lot, she has a S&W Model 41 and I a Dan Wesson (first cousin :p) in .357. Got out of it for several years, then recently got back in courtesy of (of all things) a 1918ish Mk. VI Webley. Our...
