41 Whitetail Cartridge

[Pressman]

Anyone have one?
A few years ago, like 2001 I think, there was a much editied filler article in Handloader about a guy who necked a 45 Colt to 41 and chambered it in a Blackhawk or Contender. Can't remember which.
Any one pick up on that and have one of their own made? Or am I the only one?

It's not one of the .41 GNR calibers is it? http://www.reedercustomguns.com/information/GNR_cartridges.htm

No experience with that, but isn't that close to being a 38-40 with a slightly larger bullet (.410 vs .401)?

Might explain why its not a popular or much heard about wildcat.

I have contemplated that case size several times. The best would be something like the Casull case with the small primer for better reduced load capability. ... felix

gary has a 41/454 --it is a hoss

TheCasull case maybe the way to go. In my limited testing I have had velocities equal to a Dan Wesson 415 super mag. Problem is I am having troulbe telling were the top is pressure wise. I have not blown any primers and case setback is only slight when compared to the 357/44 B&D. Have one of those also and that put me on the path to the 41.
