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

Well, it may be moribund, but it's not dead. Loaded with 215-220 grain cast bullets at 950-1000 fps, it's a pussycat and works great in the Freedom Arms Model 97 I own. If I want to shoot full-house factory ammo, I use the Ruger Redhawk 5-inch (blued, no less). The extra weight makes the experience tolerable, if not pleasant.

If I ever find an affordable Marlin lever action in .41 Magnum, I'll buy it. In a perfect world, it would be pistol grip with a 2/3 length magazine and have peep sights with a Redfield Sourdough front sight. Perhaps in some alternate universe....
