Did Super Vel kill the .41 mag? If so, we owe Lee

I use to read stuff written by gunwriters of the time that the 41 magnum had a lot less recoil than the 44 magnum. I've never shot a single action 41 magnum but I've owned and shot many 41 magnum Smith & Wesspm model 57's 4" and 6 1/2" and a couple of model 58's. All were nasty to shoot even loaded down to what I thought was going to be moderate loads. Kinda like a 357 on steroids rather than a mild 44 magnum as touted by the writers. I divested myself of them and never looked back.
