657-4 MG

[DR505]

I am envious of your score. I can't hardly find one and they want much more than what yours went for, and they are not usually that well tended.

great snag mike!41 mag.may be my fav.caliber of all....i only have one 4"and it's simply a blue M57....i reload a LOT of 41 mag.i'm looking around now for a buller weight of over 210gr.i would guess 20%less recoil then the 44mag.

Kenny, I've got a 3" 657 and a 6½" 657 Classic Hunter. I use Cast Performance bullets (at Grizzly Cartridge web site) in 250 grains and 265 grains. The 250's are for the 3" at ~900 fps and the 265 are for full-house hunting rounds in the CH. Hodgdon has loading data for these Cast Performance gas check bullets. I use H-110 for the heavy charges and they have good data for them. For the 3", I sent a query to Alliant Powder regarding the use of Unique and got a reply, with a load suggestion, the same day. Great folks there.

I did shoot the 3" with a max-load Hornady 210 grain XTP using H-110. Though quite pleasant to shoot in the Classic Hunter, it was distinctly unpleasant in the 3" version!

Try the selection from Montana Bullet works. They have an extensive line of plain base and gas checked.
