Playing With The .41 Magnum

When I was casting bullets some of what I made were for the .41 Magnum. I have a beautiful old NEI mold that throws a 230 gr. flat point bullet. The mold is close to perfect and the bullets are accurate. My standard load is 15.5 gr. of 2400.

I had not shot the gun in awhile and wanted a little less power so I loaded a couple hundred with 8.0 gr. of Unique.

These are pleasant to shoot and seem accurate. Now I just need to work on those fliers. :-D
