As was said the 41 is enough like the 44 to be nearly identical in loading procedures. If you have experiance with Rifle handloading then handguns are not much differant, one extra step is all. H-110 is imho the best full throttle powder for the large magnum revolvers along with WW 296 but they are almost the same. Unless you want to shoot full throttle all the time I would suggest you look into cast lead bullets and Unique powder. Just my 2cents. Work up loads for the full throttle jacketed hollow points and lighter loads for the cast for practice or plinking. Many will say work up ONE load and just Load that, that way you always know what to expect. I do not agree with that theory, sight picture and breath and trigger is all easier to achieve with a light load, at least one not as punishing as the full house loads. I ahve not owned a 41 in several decades I owned one and shot it a lot in the 1970's but went back to the 44 Mag. and I have not owned a S&W since Ruger came out with the Redhawk and Super Redhawk. I found S&W's had a tendancy to get loose with a lot of use while the Rugers do not. But that is just my opinion, Ruger and S&W have both sold out to the gun grabbers at one time or another.
Back to topic ..... You can also work up light loads with the 210 Grn JHP and use just that one bullet type and WT. Just a bit more expencive than cast.
I think it is to bad the 41 has been so badly eclipsed by the 44 Mag and the other "big bores" but in my opinion the 41 and 44 will do any thing you may want a large bore revolver to do. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
