41Mag Pet Loads

[fishwishin]

I follow Mr. Keith’s way of thinking for a lead power load. 16.0 grains of 2400 and 215 coated lead bullets fly at 1,327 FPS out of my 6.5” Blackhawk and the accuracy is good.

7.0 of HP-38 and a 215gr LSWC from Missouri Bullet Co has been working excellent. Last time out I put 10 shots into 1 1/2" @ 25 yards. They average 1025fps are mild recoiling and a hoot to shoot. Thanks for all the recommendations. Loving the 41Mag.

Sight

Please tell more about your Red Dot
sight and mount.

I have been interested in doing something
like that for awhile.

Mount is from EGW and Red Dot is a Vortex Venom 3MOA. My eyes are not what they used to be and shooting open sights is a close range affair for me anymore. Shooting with red dots has given me a new lease on life for shooting handguns. Once you get the hang of it (finding the dot) they are quite effective. I was very consistently ringing my 10" gong at 100 yards with this rig last weekend. If I decide to handgun hunt this fall, this will be most likely be the setup I use with the exception of ammo being 210gr XTP over H110.

.41 Mag 175 RNHP

So I just got my order from GT of 175gr RNHP, bought these to duplicate the Win Silvertips I have a limited supply of. Now that I bought 500 I kind of want to experiment with them a little. This is what I have so far, let me know if you have any other ideas. I have lots of WW 296 that I use for 210gr XTP But can't find anything on it with a 175gr lead bullet.

8-10gr Unique
8.5gr of WW 231

296/H110 is a bad choice to use with lead projectiles that do not have gas checks

Leading is the issue

Flame erosion at the base of the projectile is usually the culprit

Roger that, thanks

I shoot 210s for hunting and some target shooting. But, way back when I got my first 57, without doing much research I bought a Lee 175 SWC mold.

It has proven to be an excellent target load with either Unique or W-231. I did not look today but I would imagine that the Lyman cast boolit manual would have data for other powders.

My .41 mag is a Ruger Blackhawk, 7.5” barrel. I only load for hunting, and practice with the same load I hunt with.

I use 19 grains of W-296 or H-110 with the Hornady 210 gn XTP or the Speer 210 gn Deep Curl bullet. This load is great for hogs.
