For several years my go-to load for .41 Magnum was 16.0 grains of 2400 under an LBT 220 grain WFN, both gas checked and plain base. It got almost exactly 1200 fps from a 6 �� Blackhawk. The plain base did not lead with my alloy and revolver dimensions but at that speed it could produce leading in another revolver. But I liked it because it was relatively mild and superbly accurate.

IIRC that was the starting load listed in the Hornady manual for their 210 grain XTP. 2400 is a very good powder for loads in the 80% range or there abouts since it maintains its ballistic uniformity and accuracy even when loaded down 20 or 25% from max. I have seen that well behaved property across the board in the .357, .41, .44 Special and Magnum and the .45 Colt.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
