I've got the same gun and bullet Unique turned out to be the best in mine 9.2 grains with a standard cci primer. Clocked in over the chrony just over 1200 fps. Shot a nice doe two years ago at 45 yards hit higher than I wanted but it punched both shoulder and broke the spine on the way through. My bullets are cast from wheel weights and lubed with randyrat tac 1

I have found that with single-action revolvers I do better with mid-range to full loads than I do with target velocity loads...no clue why.... With DA revolvers I can not beat 8.0 grains of Unique that is doing in the 925-975 fps range depending on the boolit...
With that 215V boolit you can go all the way up to 10.0 of Unique with no problem...

The 41 Special would be great in it had a small frame pistol (K frame)
..not enough cylinder meat on a K-frame to do a 6-shot but several custom smiths do L-frame and GP100 conversions to .41 Special. The Taurus Tracker was available in .41 Magnum as a 5 shot and was at least as small as a L-frame...
Those 4 5/8" Blackhawks are great guns with nice balance. I had three at one point but sold them all off and just kept one 6.5"... Will probably have another 4 5/8" when the right deal comes along...

NICE...now how about some details.....like who did the work and what kinds of loads do you use...
Bob
Clements did it a few years ago on a used and already cut 686 I bought from a member of CB on Gunbroker. I shoot a lot of 215gr commercial SWCBB with 5.5 to 6.5gr Unique or Universal, 7 to 7.5gr Power Pistol, or 12.5 to 14.5gr 2400. This is the reason I had the run of Star-Line .41spl brass made.
I have a Tarsus 4'' and what you list is what shoot in it 12.5 of AA#9 ==or 2400--230 Keith
dd....Are you the one I bought that 12K rounds of .41 Special brass from? How close are you to getting another run made?

Yes, you bought the brass from me. I have no plans to have any more made. I have enough to last me..............
Hey Dixie, you still have any for sale? I only got a few from you then lost who I got them from. I tried ordering from Reeds but they are still back logged.
