.41 Magnum / 41 Special Load Data Center

[rking22]

I sure do like that Single Six !!
I was looking thru my "library" and found an article of interest in the August 06 Handloader #242. It's .41 Magnum Lite, by M Venturino. Lots of loads for 41Mag cases at 600 to 1000fps with faster powders like BE and HP-38 in M57 and M58 Smiths. I suspect posting a scan is not "OK" but they have back issues, and I bet others may have it in the "library". If interested I can post some of the loads like :
410429 HP-38 5.0gr 654fps and 1.625 in group,
410429 HP-38 6.0gr 864fps and 1.625 in group .
All groups are 12 shots at 25yards from Ransom from 4 inch barrels.

My introduction to the .41 Magnum, my dad bought this S&W Model 58 in December 1964.



KO

Some of the molds I have or had. The Lyman 410459 has always been my main bullet for revolvers. They give excellent accuracy with velocities from 1000fps to 1400fps. The Ranch Dog TL411-255 is the cast bullet for Marlin 1894s. The Lee 170gr SWC is a fabulous lightweight plinking bullet for my Uberti 1873 carbine.

Working with my out of alignment Lyman 2 cavity 41028. The mould halves do not align properly side to side, so when the bullets are sized there is an unsized area either side of the part line.

You can see the unsized area in this photo. Looks like it could use a little more crimp too.



Load testing with my custom stocked Marlin 1894fg and a 7 1/2" Ruger Superlike Blackhawk.

Glamour shot of my custom stocked Marlin 1894fg. I bought the semi-inlet wood from Tree Bone Carving and did the fitting and finishing myself.

you are blessed my friend

I recently acquired a Lyman 4 cavity 41028 mould that throws round 212 grain bullets vs. the misaligned 218 grain bullets from my 2 cavity mould.
The 4cav bullet has a meplat of .265" and length of .657", the 2cav has a .298" meplat and .650" length.




Both of these feed smooth as can be in my lever guns.

A couple more to play with, SAECO #410 220gr FP and NOE 412-224 SWC HP 208gr.

ko41, I finally got the drool out of my keyboard from the pics of your custom stocked Marlin 1894fg and now there's more!!! That is one AWESOME rifle! Love me some pretty wood

ko41, very nice display of the .41 and I am envious. I have a single cavity 41028 mold and it too functions flawlessly through my Marlin FG. Mine, cast of Lyman #2 alloy end up right at 212 gr. Single cavity molds are slow for sure, but the boolits are VERY consistent. I like the looks of that Saeco 220 FP. May have to go in search of one. JW
