I had replaced Unique with Power Pistol some years ago for all of its applications so I just tried one PP load to see what it would do in the 41. At 7.9 grains, 215 cast SWC it averaged 1079 with an extreme spread (slowest shot difference to the fastest shot) of 22 FPS across 10 shots while printing under 1.5" groups @ 25 yards. I did not do the gun justice as I am convinced it could go under one inch if I could do better on the iron sights. Revolver is a 5.5" Redhawk.
