Semisane, the hollow points on those .41 s dont look like their as deep as the hollow points on the .40 180 grain gold dots. Im wondering if that will give you better penetration.

Plus it's 17% heavier than the 180. Given my experience with that bullet out of the .41 Mag Blackhawk at 1500 fps, I would expect excellent expansion and a pass through out of a ML rifle.

Take heart Burntmuch. Maybe they won't shoot well, and you won't have to mortgage the house for a box or two. But if they DO shoot well, I expect they would beatthe 200 SSTs terminalperformance on deer.

Nother thought entered my pea-pikin mind this morning while stting and waiting for the big buck to entertain me.... I bet that 41 would work really well in a regular MMP sabot in my White U-Mag... the 40's are just abit loose - they hole a great pattern to 100 but kinda fade at 200.... think I leaking pressure around the sabot because it really is not snug. Might have to try that... Dang! I hate to go buy another box of bullets - got all kinds partial boxes laying around here.

Thank you very much for the offer... I'll wait till later and get some + I'll probably pick up a pack of Haverster "CR's" for the other guns - I think that would be a much better bullet to shoot than the 200 grain Hornady XTP.
I do wish you would shoot it soon - I want to see the target and the velocity...
