Another new mold I picked up recently was the Hensley & Gibbs #41. This is a 110 grain "gallery" projectile according to the factory ledger:
"#41 - .38 S& W Special. 110 grains. A lightweight bullet primarily for indoor short-range use, similar to configuration of#50, but with only two rounded grease grooves. Available in plain base and bevel base."

Interesting bullet, I always wondered how many designs had their lineage linked to #50 (As in #333, which is a light flat wadcutter with one lube groove).
I don't think two will fit into a .357 case which is where I was headed with this thinking. So, I may just stick with it in .38 special, for my K38. Might be able to make some short range backyard loads to annoy ornery critters.
