.41 magnum and 2400

[Leslie Sapp]

My 57 is my favorite large bore revolver, and 2400 is what I use for the loads in it.

Also, judging from the size of those groups, you should be very careful not to make that woman mad at you!

I'm on the lookout for a Blackhawk. I'd like a stainless but I'm not sure they've ever made one. I could always hard-chrome a blued one I guess.

Oh yeah, they made several stainless Blackhawks in 41 Mag. I have been on that chase for years but still haven't got one. My favorite is the 5.5" Bisley model 0471 or KRBN415W.

Great shooting, the 41 magnum is one of my favorite rounds, have a Blackhawk and 2 M57’s. I use 8.0 hrs Unique as my everyday day load.

If you want less recoil , use lighter weight bullets . A 180 gr over 7.5 grs of Unique in a 4" barrel revolver will give you about 800-825 fps . 6.5 grs of Unique will yield about 750-775 fps for another very comfortable , significantly reduced recoil , yet accurate load . What's not to like ? Regards Paul

My 4 inch 57 does not shoot as well with light bullets. The lightest one it shot well was a 195 cast bullet from a Lee mold. I just use the 210 to 230 gr bullets with a little faster burning speed powder at reduced velocity...Red Dot and Green dot work well. If you can find it. I do have it

Green dot work well. If you can find it.

I am looking forward to some nice light loads. I actually do have some green dot, it is the Unique that I can’t find anywhere and that is the biggest suggestion I get for a nice target/range load.

 

[Skeet 028]

just another suggestion./ If you can find some Herco powder. Just slightly slower than Unique. Iyou load 7 gr of Unique...Herco will be about 1/2 a gr more to reach the same speeds. I use 9 1/2 gr Unique with a 240 cast bullet in 44 mag...10.2 with Herco. I quite often find Herco cheap even at gun shows. Loads 20/28 ga too

You are a blessed man to say the least.


For drill press holes and no recoil I recommend 4-5 gr. of Red Dot and Matt's Bullets 205 gr. button nose wad cutters.

7.0 grs of 231 , 8.0 grs of Unique or 8.5 grs of Winchester Super Field seems about the same . WSF has been my unique replacement for years , I won't go back . That should make all the unique users happy as there is one less user -- a little more for them . Regards Paul
