.41 Magnum
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2021 1:20 pm
After talking with a couple of folks on the Reloading Discord server, I am convinced that I need a .41 Magnum in my life.
I have a pair of .357s, namely a 27-2 and a 28-2. I like Smith and Wessons. I love pinned and recessed Smith and Wessons.
A pinned and recessed Model 57 would be sublime. But they were already expensive. Now a days....I don't want to price it out for fear of stroking out over the price.
I have 2K WLP primers to load .45 ACP but I'm not using them. I have one pistol in the chambering and I don't enjoy shooting it much at all.
I have a pound of 2400, BE-86 and HP-38 so I'm pretty sure I could work up a load. I would need brass and bullets.
So I put it to you, my fellow enablers. What do I do? Do I even bother looking for a .41 Magnum right now and if so, do I go for a Model 57 or do I go for a Ruger Blackhawk?
Is the prospect of even trying to find brass and bullets right now worth the headache?
Do I resort to a wrist rocket and ball bearings for my target practice?
This is a bit of a stream of consciousness thread but let's have fun with it. Share your favorite .41 magnum guns. Pet loads, preferred bullets, etc.
