AS being a huge 41 Magnum fan it's an easy choice.....a 265gr LFN-GC @ 1450 fps or a 230gr Keith @ at 1,000 fps will handle just about anything. As we all have found out, with age comes less interest in the boomers, the last few years I turn more toward the 41 Special with 210gr Gold Dots @1,100 fps, though that is partly due to the custom Clements Ruger Flattop, I do love that revolver, but I could easily load a 41 Mag to 950 fps with a 215gr LSWC, my old cowboy action shooting load, works nicely with Win 231.
