popplecop,

I got a .41 Magnum Ruger 6.5-inch about 5 years ago. It is my favorite woods carry gun. I have loaded 210 JHP and my hard cast 195 SWC with 2400 powder. I ran the loads over the chrony a while back and got 1295 fps out of the JHP and 1382 fps out of the 195 cast bullets. I cast my bullets out of OLD wheelweights, put in a dash of tin and drop the bullets from the mould into a bucket of water and lube with Alox.

Hope this helps.

Adam
