These are powder coated 213 gr gas checked HP's for the 41 magnum that weigh 213 grs & it's the most accurate bullet I've shot in my 41's in over 50 years of shooting. It's a great game bullet, took this depredation doe a few weeks ago using it, one shot at 88 yds. They are $26 per hundred plus $8 shipping.   Dick |

Dick, I’ve got a FA97 I picked up in a trade in 41mag. it’ll be my first 41. What velocity range works best with these?? and will they fit a 97 cylinder, I think 1.6 is OAL for it.
Thanks,.....Trapr

Trapr, my OAL with this bullet is 1.675" so it's a bit long for the model 97 cylinder. Shooting 8 grs of Unique gives me about 1060 fps out of my OM shorty. That's the load I shot the muley with a couple of months ago, worked great.
PM's answered, thanks,
Dick

I traded for some of these and they are a very nice bullet. Trapr I’ll bring you some to try out.

Curtis Curtis, it appears they are .050 too long for the cylinder, according to Mr. Taffin FA97 article. If not that’d be great, I’ve got some of Dicks other stuff and they’re great. see you when I see you,..... Trapr |

I know buffalo bore 265s are way to long for the 97. |

PM's answered, thanks, Dick ***** Dick.... sounds like the boys may want too DEEP SEAT for loading in the shorter-cylinder Freedom Arms Model 97. Do you think a roll crimp on the ogive will fit? And hold against bullet jump? David Bradshaw |

David that was my thought exactly, either a taper crimp or roll crimp on the ogive.

If one wants to use that bullet in a FA 97 buy some of the Starline .41 Special brass. I have the original Keith 220 .41s and they are also too long to be seated normally in Magnum brass...they work great with Special brass.
As to a load, with Unique just drop down one grain. I run 7-9 grains of Unique with the same bullets I run 8-10 grains in Magnum brass with the same (+-) resulting velocities.
The 97 is really a great candidate for using just Special brass. The other is the no longer made Taurus Tracker....

I did some measuring & you can deep seat this bullet & make it work with a bit of room to spare. Something like .025" short of the ogive would give you 1.600".
