41 Magnum followed me home today

[Ridgerunner665]

Just watched a YouTube video where a guy chronographs some loads with 207 grain cast bullets with a Max charge of AA9 powder... They were right at 1,400 fps, from a 4 5/8" barrel Blackhawk.

I've had my eye on AA9 this whole time... I have 2 pounds of it because I was using it in the 10mm.

I have a pound of 296 also, got it years ago for the Rossi 357... Still have the 357, haven't seen it in a long time, I got it for my Dad to keep at his house...I haven't loaded any rounds for it since I've had it.

I also have a mostly full pound of Longshot...

...my favorite revolver cartridge..... 

I think you made the right choice between the two...the Hunter is a nice gun but very nose heavy...  I have had both and sold the Hunter but still have the 1977 vintage 6.5" BH....  As to selling the Glock 40....no great loss. I still have mine but it will probably go down the road one day...

Since you are new to .41s...welcome to The Cult....

For topend loads try H110/296...same powder in a different can.  210s will usually take 22-24 grains so the bullet base just sits on top of the powder charge...  For deer you may want to also look at the Sierra 170 JHC...26.0-26.5 of H110 runs I believe 1620 fps from a 6.5" BH...  It is a very tough bullet....and does a number on deer.
