Sold to kap, pending funds.

Make me am offer...

AA9 will get you more velocity using current published data than any other powder.

Longshot comes into its own with really long bullets in 10mm....190 CEB, 220 cast, etc.

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...

The recoil... As compared to the 10mm Glock 40.

The Glock was firing 200 grain XTP's at 1,300 fps from the 7 inch KKM barrel.. The recoil was strong but "spongy", kinda like the trigger (best word I can think of to describe it).

The 6.5 inch 41 Mag wheelgun is firing 210 grain Hornady factory rounds at...... 1,300 fps......the recoil is stiff, certainly there, and not spongy for sure... But it feels good, brings a smile to my face every time, not painful at all but it lets you know you just touched off a fairly powerful round...appx. 15 ft. lbs. of recoil energy.

The recoil will get a little stiffer when my reloading components and dies arrive, but not by much... I've already decided that I'm not pushing for the ultimate +P max loads in this, just strong and accurate...judging by the reloading data I have (Hornady, Lyman, Speer, Hodgden, Sierra, Lee, and Nosler)....around 1,400 fps with 210 grain XTP's should be well within reason, and about 18 ft. lbs. of recoil energy.

Sorry Willie, the stuff is sold.

Replied to the your PM.

The sight in and group therapy went very well... The groups were small.

1.5" at 25 yards with factory Hornady ammo... The 41 is a steadily accurate shooter, I think I'm a full on wheel gun convert.

Some things I realized today...I had wanted the 7.5 inch barrel hunter version, I'm glad I didn't get it. The 6.5" while not as pleasing to my eye is a better balanced pistol and easier to carry.

Had I gotten the hunter version I would have put an optic on it, which is all well and good... But I've come to realize it isn't necessary.

That 150 yard gong I had so much fun shooting with the 10mm, the open sighted 41 will bang on it just the same albeit with a little more authority.... Easily.

The 41 shoots straight with the sights adjusted to the center of their adjustment range...indicative of a properly assembled firearm.

Also, I ordered another Diamond D Guides Choice chest holster for it, same as I had for the 10mm.

I'm also open to trades for 41 Mag bullets...

I have 147 of these VERY excellent bullets... Priced to sell.

$65 shipped.

A recovered bullet...


A seated bullet...

As some of you know, I just got the 41 Magnum Blackhawk, 6.5 inch barrel.

I just ran some Hornady factory rounds (210 XTP's) over the chrono and thought the results might be interesting to put in this thread.

The 6.5 inch 41 Mag averaged 1,300 fps with the 210 grain bullets.

My G40 with the 7 inch barrel...... averaged 1,300 fps with 200 grain bullets, using current published load data, and could have been pushed a little harder.

If that is not proof that a properly set up 10mm can genuinely get into 41 Mag territory then I don't know what is.

I know there are hotter 41 Mag rounds to be had, but I consider Hornady to be pretty decent ammo, and not just range fodder like WWB or Walmart Remington.

Underwood 10mm is a good bit hotter than my reloads.

Moved on to 41 Magnum... No longer need these components.

Approximately 800 new Starline brass
Approximately 475 Hornady 200 grain XTP's, 3 boxes are unopened
And a set of Hornady New Dimension dies

Priced to sell.... $125 for all of it, shipped to your door.

Also... It came with an extra set of grips, Hogue rubber grips.

I put them on it, I don't particularly like the looks of them, but they do fit my rather large hands much better than the factory grips.
