260-275 grains is the heaviest practical bullet for the .41 Magnum.
I shoot a 265 gr with a heavy, but safe, load of H110.
Out of my 7 1/2" Ruger Hunter, it just breaks 1400 fps.
(Out of my 5 1/2" Bisley, it runs right at 1333.)
I took a Bison with the Hunter, and it shot right through her. I used both guns to shoot a bunch of pigs and sheep on a trip to Niihua, Hawaii. Nothing stopped those bullets.
