last year i bought some projectiles from montana bullets. 410 size 265cast, weighed just under 270, lbt g.c. keith style bullets. He had ovened treated them to a brn of 24 if i remember right. I loaded them .7grains less than max per accurate with no 9.
No leading in the barrel, and they kind of went boom. Heaviest bullet in 41magnum i have fired so far. They did have some recoil. I am going to chrony them as i think out of the four inch probably around 1000fps. accurate has them at 1250 to 1350 but that is with a ten inch barrel. I think i am going to have to get a 41barrel for the contender. I can't hardly think of anything that combination wouldn't put down.

EvilTwin is a huge fan of the .41Magnum.

Try that old can of H110 you have had hanging around...that 265 from a 4" barrel will run over 1200 fps if you want it to...

I neglected by intention not to bring the lever along as i had other things i wanted to do but the 265 went in the mountain gun. sooner or later i want to run it in the lever. I was trying to get a combination load in a marlin 44 lever and revolver, but haven't figured it out yet. Mainly because the handgun is .429 and the lever marlin made oversize for some reason at i think .431 from memory. I use 2400 a lot in these loads but that 110 has been sitting around for a long time. I read somewhere about an ideal weight is 220 to 230 and i think i am seeing the truth of that in a bullet. I think that came from keith. those 300grainers you sent me bob are coming up next.

I shoot a 250 gr LBT WFN hard cast bullet at about 1200 fps out of my S&W Mountain Gun and also in my .41 mag Blackhawk. I use WW-296. Most of my friends won't shoot a cylinder load of them when I hand them my revolver with that load. That load is a feral hog killing sob!

A good cast slug at 1000 or so fps is all that is needed. Choose your weight.

As I recall, I believe John Taffin said that 265 grains (heviest bullet)was about the max for the 41 mag and accuracy/stability. But I am not a big handloader.

I have to drive 265gr LBT style bullets at full steam for good accuracy in my .41's, but I never tried that weight in a Keith style bullet. Hodgdon's website has good data for the 265's.

It's hard not to be a .41 fan, much like it's hard not to be a 10mm fan.

per rjm's continuing effort to have me spend money, I had a couple of boxes of c.o.p. (copper only projectile) 41 ammo come in. That has got to be one of the deepest hollowpoints i have seen. Curious to see what it does when it smacks something. they advertise it about 1300fps, but i am going to run some through a chrony for my own benefit. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/83...-copper-hollow-point-lead-free-box-of-25you might notice who wrote that first review at the midway site.
