I'm looking to match Keiths 41 mag load.

I've got a 410459 (Not a true Keith, but close.), Drops a dressed 217 grain boolit from my hard alloy. I plan on working from 18 up to 20 grains of 2400, but I don't know if that was originaly touched off by a mag primer, or standard. Has anyone used this load? Know which primer it WAS?

Keith loathed magnum primmers, 2400 does quite well with standard Large Pistol Primmers.

2400 doesn't require magnum primers and the case capacity of the 41 benefits from not using them with even WW296. Work up loads with each type and see for yourself. Also be aware that Keith's 2400 is not todays 2400. It's a bit faster now.
