I have a number of sources for reloading 41 Magnum, and I load that cartridge myself. I find very little support for loading any bullets over 215 grains. I don't ever see loads published for H110 that suggest anything but a magnum primer. I recall a number of comments about backing very much off max with H110 giving erratic results.I like the heavy bullets in the .41, nothing wrong with them. Both my Dan Wesson and the Marlin 1894 love the Cast Performance 250 GC bullet.
Personally, I would back down off the max charge of H110, and keep the magnum primer, and then see where your accuracy goes.
He wants full power hunting loads and AA #7 isn't going to get it for him.
I agree. Personally, I would try something like IMR4227 if H110 isn't giving him the accuracy he's looking for.
I did not take issue with him wanting "full power hunting loads" as the books would define that. I suggested that trying to create something for bear with a heavy bullet was beyond the 41 Magnum in the sense that I don't know of any published support for that idea. ICBW. Personally, I think of 44 Magnum or heavier for that sort of devastation.
