I have been loading 250gr WFPGC Cast Performance bullets on top of Trail Boss for .41MAG. IMR is the only place I saw data for this particular bullet and their loads are very mild and shoot well. I was thinking about looking at other powders and the closest approximation I could find in all the manuals was from Lee. It has an extensive list of for 245gr lead bullets. I have Universal and Titegroup on hand and I thought I might follow their loads, BUT then I noticed a gross difference in seating depth. With TB these bullets seat for an OAL of 1.54", which is in line with the seating groove. The Lee manual recommends seating the 245gr bullet for an OAL of 1.63", this would seat the bullet quite a bit further out of the seating groove. Due to the increase in pressure resulting from a .09" deeper I am wondering how far I might back off the min charge, being the overly cautious handloader. I noticed that the 300gr Lead seats at 1.54" as well, but only has data for H110. Any thoughts?
