Hello Gary... I have the 5-shot 5.5" Ultimate .41 Hunter you made up for me in .41 Magnum and .41 GNR. Using .41 Magnum brass I get the following velocities:

300 grain Mountain Mold: 1276 fps

255 Cast Performance: 1350 fps

250 grain Accurate Mold 41-250L: 1413 fps

250 Cast Performance WFN-GC: 1310

Was just wondering if anyone who has a 5-7" revolver has chronographed any loads to see what the velocity difference was.

5 shots at 100 yards sitting with the 250L. Three are in that one hole...one low right and I dropped the last shot off the target about 2" low...

    - the 41 GNR will beat those velocities by 200 to 250 fps, - Gary Reeder, 2017-02-22, 13:52
      - What is the max bullet weight for the 410? 255 or 265 grain? (nm) - Juan, 2017-02-22, 15:07
        I wouldn't recommend any bullet heavier than 265 - Gary Reeder, 2017-02-22, 15:43
