Love this thread, I've recently become enamored with the 41. I don't live in bear country, the most dangerous thing I'd ever run into around here would be the occasional negro on the way to the feed store. I just recently bought a Ruger BH in 41 and have been playing with a 175 gr cast hollow point from GT bullets and the 170 Sierra JHP. Tomorrow I'm gonna be shooting some 170's I loaded tonight, these are hopefully gonna be my deer load, pushed by 25.0 grains of H110, should be in the 1700 fps range. Today I shot some 175 cast hollow points in front of 7.0 of Titegroup, they shot really well. I will be using them for a everyday load in the farm truck. I love the idea of lighter bullets in the 41 at elevated velocities, deep penetration is not a concern for anything I'd ever shoot around here.
