The 41 was not meant to be a target round.
True fact. And, I suppose, at self-defense distances, one doesn't need much precision. Some years ago, I had read an article by Mike Venturino in Handloader Magazine about his efforts to load accurate ammo for a lever-action in, IIRC, .32 Long Colt. One of his findings was that, to have reliable accuracy, the heel had to bump up to full groove diameter and be virtually indistinguishable from a boolit which never had a heel. Recovered .22 bullets are like this. He tried changing a lot of different details, alloys, heel lengths, with and without lube grooves, lubes, powders, etc. before he got what he was after. A very informative article.
