41 mag load

[sako_75]

I need some advice here.

I have a box of 500 .410" 217gr lead semi wad cutters. Theve been on my bench for years, I can't even rember where I picked them up. I have never loaded any of them because none of my manules have any cast data for 41 mag. I need some starting load data for either unique or red dot. Can anyone help me out?

.41Magnum load

For my 220grWFNGC bullets, I use 7.5 to 8grains of Unique. You might want to go to use 6 to 6.5gr of Red Dot. Check to see which load gives the least leading if any with the plain base bullets. I use 6.0 grains of Bullseye with 210gr. plain base SWCs for almost a gallery load. YMMV so be careful. It'd be easy to double up on these light loads.
