[tomcat388th]

can you help me out looking for some loads just for this mold Lyman 410459 220gr powder I have on hand 2400 Unique H110
would like to use on Deer out to 50 yards to 75 yards gun is Ruger BH 4 5/8"
thanks

I've got the same gun and bullet Unique turned out to be the best in mine 9.2 grains with a standard cci primer. Clocked in over the chrony just over 1200 fps. Shot a nice doe two years ago at 45 yards hit higher than I wanted but it punched both shoulder and broke the spine on the way through. My bullets are cast from wheel weights and lubed with randyrat tac 1

[LUCKYDAWG13]

Ruger BH 4 5/8 barrel i tried 8gr of unique i had a pattern at 35 yards i will walk up my load

See how 8.5gr works for ya', does very well for me.

[LUCKYDAWG13]

will do thanks

See how 8.5gr works for ya', does very well for me.

8.5 gr of unique was better going to bump it up to 8.8

[RJM52]

I have found that with single-action revolvers I do better with mid-range to full loads than I do with target velocity loads...no clue why.... With DA revolvers I can not beat 8.0 grains of Unique that is doing in the 925-975 fps range depending on the boolit...

With that 215V boolit you can go all the way up to 10.0 of Unique with no problem...

Ruger new model BH 4 5/8 barrel

The 41 Special would be great in it had a small frame pistol (K frame)

[RJM52]

..not enough cylinder meat on a K-frame to do a 6-shot but several custom smiths do L-frame and GP100 conversions to .41 Special. The Taurus Tracker was available in .41 Magnum as a 5 shot and was at least as small as a L-frame...

Those 4 5/8" Blackhawks are great guns with nice balance. I had three at one point but sold them all off and just kept one 6.5"... Will probably have another 4 5/8" when the right deal comes along...

NICE...now how about some details.....like who did the work and what kinds of loads do you use...

Bob

[ddixie884]

Clements did it a few years ago on a used and already cut 686 I bought from a member of CB on Gunbroker. I shoot a lot of 215gr commercial SWCBB with 5.5 to 6.5gr Unique or Universal, 7 to 7.5gr Power Pistol, or 12.5 to 14.5gr 2400. This is the reason I had the run of Star-Line .41spl brass made.

[GLynn41]

I have a Tarsus 4'' and what you list is what shoot in it 12.5 of AA#9 ==or 2400--230 Keith

[RJM52]

dd....Are you the one I bought that 12K rounds of .41 Special brass from? How close are you to getting another run made?

Yes, you bought the brass from me. I have no plans to have any more made. I have enough to last me..............

Hey Dixie, you still have any for sale? I only got a few from you then lost who I got them from. I tried ordering from Reeds but they are still back logged.
