    Larry,

    I also use the RCBS mold mentioned and like it---my favorite load with it is 8.5 W-231--I get 1,125 FPS with it and it is very consistent and accurate. I was trying to develop a milder load to use with my old Lee 205 SWC mold and though Bullseye woudl be ideal as I can use less powder.

    I got the chance to test out the Lee 200 grain SWC bullet with 6.0 grains of Bullseye. It was not to accurate at all despite a beautiful 11.00 Std deviation. Such a shame. However the bullet works well with ~ 9 grains of W-231 or HP-38.

    Using the 6.0 grains of Bullsye I had many wide flyers which is amazing as the .41 Mag is intrinsically accurate with just about any load.

    You might email John Taffin, or check his website(sixguns.com IIRC) for info on the .41 Special.
    Machinists do it with precision.
