somewhere I still have the old pamphlets that give load data for just about all handgun cartridges using bullseye, red dot, green dot, blue dot, herco and unique. of course these were all worked up by Hercules using copper crusher pressure test barrels.
here is a copy of that old data for anyone interested

To be clear the .41spl had been around a long while when I discovered it. It was well enough known that I had been studying on a .41spl on a 41 frame and got David to build me one on a 686. But I wasn't looking forward to trimming brass for the rest of my life and having my .41spls say Magnum on the headstamp. I called Star Line and got them involved all it cost was money @7K for the run of brass and a few bucks for the headstamp and we were in biz.
