I am looking for a good 41 special load for a 195-210 grain cast bullet. Anybody have a favorite load they would like to share?

I have one, but am at the office. Will put a sticky in my pocket to look at some of my loads when I get home tonight and get back to you tomorrow. Bowen built mine on an OMBH (4 5/8's) and he is almost done with another OMBH, this one on a Bisley frame (5.5). See his website for how one looks. I have one like that in 38-40, love that caliber.

I use 5.5 grs or Universal and the 220 cast SWC in my Single Six.

Box, any idea what velocity you're getting from that load?

.215gr swcbb over 6.5gr Universal, 6gr Unique, 7gr Power Pistol. this in a 686 by Clements. Google .41special and select John Taffins, Taffin tests the .41 special. There is a lot of info there.......

Those Taffin loads are what I use too. A+++ (http://sixguns.com/tests/tt41spec.htm)
They run from mild to wild!
Really depends on what gun you have too. Like Boxhead, one of mine is a five shot Single Six and you can't push it. I think I'm running 215gners at about 850fps for that gun, 1200fps from my Clements GP100.

6.5 Universal, 6 Unique or 6 Green Dot. My OMBH really likes the Green Dot. 215 gr. bullets sized .410. About 850 velocity. Just a nice shooter load.
