Loads for the .41 Magnum

Some readers of sixgunner.com have asked about .41 Magnum loads. I asked John Taffin to share some of his .41 Magnum loads with me and he was gracious enough to do so. These are presented for your information. As with all handloading, you are responsible for the safe and proper assembly of your own loads.

All loads fired in a Dan Wesson Model 741 - 6" barrel - temperature 45 to 55° F - Groups fired at 25 yards
