Looking to get a new Ruger Blackhawk in .41 Mag

[waco]

What LGS had it?

This thing is clean and tight. Very happy. It had a price on it of $589 until just a few days ago. Went in today and it was $499

Local gun shop has a 1984 Ruger Black Hawk, blue, 7 1/2” barrel in .41 Mag in very good condition for $499
How was the quality on those mid 80’s Rugers?

Weren't the Blackhawk 41's either 4 5/8" or 6 1/2" barrel lengths? I thought the 7 1/2" was only available on the Bisley.

This one is 6 1/2”
The tag on the revolver was incorrect.

So do you guys have any go to powders for the .41?

I like Unique for mid range loads, and 2400 for hot loads.

I have a few pounds of Unique and lots of 2400.

[Texas by God]

9 grains of Unique always worked good for everyday use with 210 and 220 gr bullets for all the .41 Blackhawks I’ve had.
I used max loads of W296 and 210 Hornady XTP for deer hunting.
A LOT of people chose the .41 over the .44 simply because Ruger didn’t make a 4-5/8” .44 magnum for the longest time.
And they usually became a .41 magnum FAN shortly after.

Can't go wrong with those powders, they're pretty much all I've used in the 41 mag.

[jakharath]

I use H110 (mostly) and 4227.

[Charliemac]

I use Titegroup for low to midrange loads and H110/296 for full magnums. I have found IMR4227 to be very accurate in my 41M’s. 4227 and 2400 allow for some flexibility in power.

I use Bullseye with low end loads under my Lee TL175 and TL210s, Unique for midrange [1000 fps] RCBS 41-210-KT, 2400 under the RCBS bullet for Magnum cast bullet loads and H110/296 under 210 gr Hornady XTPs for top end magnum level hunting loads.

I appreciate all of the advice guys. Thanks

Emerald valley armory in Creswell. It was on consignment.

Been awhile since I've been down there.
I need to load some ammo for my 41 Blackhawk, I've got a box of NEW Starline brass sitting here for it, and the Henry lever gun I got to go with it.

Here are my results with my Blackhawk 41, 4-5/8".

Waco, I was about to ask you the phone number to that shop. I would have bought the thing and had it shipped to me. It would have been a dandy 41st birthday present to myself!

Well happy birthday! I’m going to go home tonight and order all the things I need to get loading. Brass, dies, mold, size die, etc…

[Pereira]

Blue dot is another good powder in the 41 and I use quite a bit of 2400 as was mentioned above.

Blue dot might as well be hens teeth in these parts.

Depends. I know it's a bit on the fast-burning side, but I have really taken a liking to Titegroup. My main bullet has been a 210 gr. SWC from an RCBS 41-210 mold. It and a little over 7 gr. of Titegroup yield 1100-1150 fps from all three of my .41's. The load is very accurate and so far I've taken four hogs with that load.

50 yds. SBR-



100 yds. SBR-



This bullet came out of a sow I shot a few months ago-



For a little more power, I like Longshot, good groups from it too.

The 80's guns I've seen are better than the newer stuff.

I had 2 of that vintage and they were both solid and accurate. No problems with mine
