Please be gentle, it’s my first time getting a custom made mold…..
I hate to ask this question, cause it CAN be such a newbie question. But I’m asking it because I trust the opinions of this forum. So, I need to know what design/bullet for my 41 mag.
Purpose: Deer hunting out to 75yards, punching paper from 25-100, and ringing gongs and busting clays at 100yards.
Pistol:Ruger Blackhawk Bisley 7.5”, Ruger Blackhawk 4.75(ish)”. Both will be topped with a RMR or UltraDot
What I think I want: plainbase, WFN, 220-240grs.
I can live with a gas check, don’t know if I need it. My past BHs all loved the weight range stated. I think the old Lee 215gr TL SWC was one of their favorite bullets.
So getting back into 41s, and found one of my pistols that I have coveted for a long time, Bisley Blackhawk in 41 with 7.5” barrel. Now to find that Redhawk in 41! Just need a couple 5/6 cavities molds to make it all good. Would like to settle on just one design, but realize that it may take two to get both goals( hunting and practice) fulfilled.
What says you? If I had to give an idea of what I want, I would say a scaled down version of Lee’s 310gr WFN for the 44. I ran that bullet slow and fast in my SBH Hunter for years and it was amazing at all ranges in paper or animal.
