I do good to remember Kelly Brost, much less a barrel he owned. We have built 10 to 15 barrels from our Christmas sale in the last week or so and I did all the engraving etc on them and I don't remember any of them, so no I don't remember that barrel.

It is your barrel so you can load whatever you like in it. I just said I do not recommend anything over 265 grains in it. It was developed, just like the 41 GNR and 410 GNR, for medium weight bullets as they gave us the most gain in performance when bullet weight was compared to powder charges. But whatever floats your boat is fine. It's your barrel. I have taken at least 10 animals that weigh over 1800 lbs with a 210 grain bullet in the 41 GNR, one shot each (with plenty of witnesses) so I personally see no advantage in the heavier bullets. My humble opinion.

.410 GNR.... - RJM52, 2017-02-21, 13:51
- 5.5" 212 gr cast hp 1640//255 with GNR's load 1555 (nm) - Lynn, 2017-02-22, 07:12
- Bob, don't worry too much about speed. Accuracy kills, not - Gary Reeder, 2017-02-21, 14:08
  - .410 GNR - RJM52, 2017-02-22, 05:24
    - 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
