NOE .41 Mag SWC HP Deer

[Beau Cassidy]

Last summer a friend of mine bought the .41 Keith SWC HP mold upon my recommendation. I ran him off about 700 bullets ladle cast with 50/50 WW/PB alloy. Well my buddy made me proud this morning when this 3-point came within about 30 yards. One shot just offcenter with the deer facing him. Deer took one jump and piled up. Exit was about a 3/4 inch hole at the back of the left sided ribs. He said the insides were jelly. It's his first handgun deer. I am very, very proud of him and wish him many more quick kills.

Good on both of you!

Great story, good shooting on his part and good on you for casting for him!

What was his load, do you know? Congratulations on that first kill.

Good shot, good eating, and good to get that one out of the breeding buisness. I sure miss my .41 mag- I love that cartridge.

The deer is like:

Seriously? forty-ONE magnum?
Who does that?

Great job for your friend with a great cartridge.

[Beau Cassidy]

He uses 296. I am not sure of the exact charge. It sure worked good, though.

[Oklahoma Rebel]

what was the weight of the boolit, and for the 41, what is the heaviest boolits used?

[Ohio Rusty]

I hope he shares a fresh pot of deer chili with you !! Great looking deer.

If I wasn't solidly .44 I would have no qualms about hunting with a .41. Good results.

[Beau Cassidy]

I believe the weight was 220 grains. The way he described the internal damage and exit hole it was absolutely perfect performance. I hope to find out on the .44 version of that mold over the next week as I am off work.

[RugerFan]

Very nice! What model pistol was he using?

[Beau Cassidy]

6 inch model 57. I believe it is an older gun

.41 will sure do the job. Before I narrowed down to .357 and .44s only for simplicity, I had three different .41s, two Rugers and a S&W. Only shot one deer with .41, but it performed admirably. Good work on this one! Love me some sixgun deer hunting.
