This one's worked well for me for many years:

Just wish it had more cavities.

The Lyman 410610 should fit the bill.

410610 is a mighty champ of a boolit. Depending on the one you get it might need lapping out to be just big enough for your revolver but it's a great design.

If you find one laying around somewhere the old Lee 238 grain round nose plain base is a favorite of mine. Not much use except in mid range loads but hey, I love a .41 Special.

If you can locate a SSK 275gr mold made either by NEI or another, It rocks.

H&G 258 or Lyman 410459

The all time classics. You can find a copy of these fairly easy if you look around. Depends on what you want to do.

I shoot the Lyman 410610 and an LBT 230 WFNGC. Both work very well.

id recommend a trip over to Toms website at accurate molds and look through his catalog. His 220k mold is his copy of the H&G 258. There are also several others to choose from. His molds are top notch and service/turnaround is very quick for, literally, custom work.

I have had the Saeco 220gr truncated Cone for about 9 years. Cast great, shoots great, probably not the best for hunting. I then bought the Saeco SWC but it dropped too small and the guy at Redding gave me a hard time with it. They are not a member of Saami so don't know the specs is for a .411" boolit, not .409" to .410".
I had the Lyman SWC gas check but it dropped small and our of round. A trip back to the manufacturer did not help this at all. no longer have it.
I have the Lee SWC also and it shoots ok, but the recently purchased RCBS 210gr SWC is a gret boolit.

If I had only one boolit to chosw from it would be the RCBS. I have pushed it to 1,550 fps with no gas check and it shot very well.

Magma 220 grain FPRN is what I use.
I use it because I have a lever gun in 41 as well.
Good round and its deadly accurate in the right hands.....

I like also the RCBS 210grSWC. Accurate Molds also has several good designs if you want more than a 2cav.

If you can get some (10-20) and try them then when you find what you and your fun likes look for that mould bullet style. You will know what you want and then its just finding it.
