New .41 mag mold

[Mark Ahrens]

Just picked up this new mold TL410-210 SWC. Is there anybody that also uses this mold, and if so what is the preferred method of lube for this bullet. PC, pan lube, or the Lee Liquid Alox?

I use that bullet quite a bit for medium level 41 Magnum loads. I have TL'd and sized them as per Lee's direction in LLA and used them over 6 gr of Bullseye for 950 fps and excellent accuracy. They also do well over 8.5 gr Unique for 1150 fps. However for that load and magnum level loads I size and lube (BAC Lube) them in a Lyman 450.

I use 3 Lee TL 41 bullets; the TL410-175-SWC, the TL410-195-SWC and the TL410-210-SWC. All work quite well but using a good alloy with sufficient tin to properly fill out the drive bands is essential to getting the best performance.

Interesting, ive been looking for a mid-level .41 Mag load!

[Mark Ahrens]

Well, I do have the Lyman cast bullet book, and found a load that I started with. 8.5 grains of unique. Grouped real well, no leading, clean burning. I plan to lube with the alox, and some PC as soon as I get some new dies. I had a real bad weekend reloading. Broke decapping rod, and got half of a shell stuck in the sizer die. So I am in the market for a new set of dies.
