I loaded a few .41 mags today.

I’m about to scope my Ruger Blackhawk so I loaded enough to hopefully get it on paper and close to zero. Powder was AA No. 9 and the bullet is a powder coated 220 grain Hammer cast and coated by a friend.

Looks good Drycreek. Post us some target pics when you shoot it.

Got my revolver back from the ‘smith this afternoon. He drilled and tapped the topstrap for a Wiegand rail. I’ll mount my scope tomorrow and shoot as soon as Dr. appointments and weather permits. The red dot is no longer on it.

Well, right after I started this thread I realized that I had read the wrong line in my print out of .41 mag loads. I used 11.5 grains of AAC no. 9 as a starting load when it should have been 14 grains. I tried to pull the bullets with a kinetic bullet puller but after three sharp raps on my oak reloading bench the bullet failed to move. Decided to just shoot ‘em out. I mounted the Weaver 2X6 scope this morning, torqued the screws to specs and gathered up my possibles. I was a little surprised that the scope was very close.
This is my group at 25 yards shooting off a bipod and sitting in a hunting chair. Pretty sure I can beat that with a better rest, and pretty sure the fliers are me.

I loaded up a few more rounds this morning. Thirty rounds at three different charge rates. Started with 14 grains, then 14.5, and finally 15 grains. Ten of each. Chasing the most accurate load. I have to wait a few days to shoot though, raining today and tomorrow, plus doctor appointments ahead. I really want to smack a hog with one of these
