Go to the Hogdon reloading data website and you should find plenty of data for both cast and jacket bullets. Alliant Powder also has a web site with data if you want to use 2400, Unique or bullseye powders for your reloading. 2400 and W296 are two good powders for max loads in 41 mag. W-231 or Unique is good for mid range loads.

H4227 is also a good powder, and is well represented at http://hodgdon.com/ .

Hodgdon, Accurate, Alliant, Ramshot all have load data.

There are 4 boolit weights covered in the Lyman Castboolit handbook.

I've been loading with AA#9 alot and just started to revisit with a few others like 2400, Herco and sr4756 since accurate powder is hard to come by around here.

Dont forget the new 300MP from alliant! A lot like 296, but had better groups from my 8" Lew Horton using MP SWC at 223 grains. It is a "full house" powder though so don't try to load it down.

Also, good ole Unique was quite accurate as well and you can load it as a plinker up to mid-grade loads.

I get my 41 mag. data the " old school way " Lyman Reloading Handbook and Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. Keep them on the shelf for easy reference.

My prefered powders are Unique for mid range loads with cast bullets and AA9, W296/H110, and 2400 for full loads either cast (195, 210 or 265 gr)or jacketed (170/210 gr). My barrel lengths are 4", 6.5", 14" and 20".

Welcome to the CastBoolits.
Do you have any reloading manuals? If you don't you need to invest in some. Just about ALL of my reloading manuals hve loadinf data for cast boolits. Then there are the powder manufacturers loading pamplets. These have cast loading data.
Where have you been looking? Apparently, you have a computer, there are all kinds of places to find data for the .41 and cast boolits. How about Handloads.com, at the top of the page where it says "Load Data" As my wife would say, "You have to look, it's not going to jump out at ya"

Like some others here I use Unique for the moderate loads and 2400 for magnum loads. Lately though my curiosity has been piqued quite a bit about the use of Power pistol and 300MP. I have a handloader magazine were Brian Pearce wrote a interesting article on 300MP, but I can't find anything on Power Pistol in the .41 mag.

Some great loads in Ken Waters' Pet Loads book. I found a winner there. Lower velocity, with Red Dot. Mike

you can use JHP or Sp data for cast up to about 220-230 gr work up of course-- and lots of data for the heavier cast up to 280 SSK and 18 gr of H110 JD Jones's load not mine but it shoots well as always work up
