Shoot straight, keepem in the ten ring.
Which mold for the 41 colt are you looking for?
Before you jump into the delightful challenge of loading for 41 Colt, you should read Harry O’s very useful write up concerning loading 41 colt. Lots of variables. http://harryo.sixshootercommunity.org/
I thought I was going to luck out and get lyman’s Hollow base 386178 mold on eBay for under $100 but it sold in the last seconds for $219! I have both Lyman’s heeled 386177 bullet and the discontinued Rapine hollowbase mold that is close to the Lyman mold.
Which colt revolver are you loading for?
It's an SAA

E-mail Dave Scovill over at HANDLOADER mag.
He has a real love affair with the .41Colt in the SAA
I HATE auto-correct
Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.
My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

Did you decide if you will load hollowbase or heeled bullets? You can load heeled bullets on the long case with a SAA or Bisley.
