Ruger Blawkhawk 41 Mag

[skeet]

Bought a bunch of reloading stuff from a fellow up in Billings today. Got presses powder measure 10-10 scale ..8 sets of dies..And lo and behold in the brass there was a whole box of new 41 mag Remington brass. No 41 dies or bullets. In fact no handgun dies at all. Just the brass. Also got 9 boxes of 270 and 243 bullets. The 41 brass was one of the things tha made me buy all that stuff, though. In all the stuff there was a Lee pan luber for...410 bullets. It is new. I had a couple of loads 10 gr of unique with a 210 gr JSP bullet for approx 1350 FPS and another with Blue Dot 13.8 and a 220 JSP bullet for about 1375..Then the 2400 load..for more velocity 18.2 2400 for about 1400...approach this load with caution..it is a bit hotter..ok by the book..but every gun is different. These were out of a 4 5/8 inch bbl...with a really tight cylinder gap. Check the new loads by Hodgdon for Lil Gun powder..don't have 'em in front of me right now. WW296 orH110(same powder by the way) is a good powder for the 41..but a narrow range of powder weights. and the pressures are up at the top..Lil Gun may get the same velocity at a lower pressure.
