RCBS? Hornady perhaps? For 41 cal you will likely need to look to Sage Outdoors, Hornady doesn't run them very often and I haven't seen any for sale in a long time. Sage almost always has Gator checks available, often in both alum and regular copper... |

Sage is my go to! Thing is which one for mp- 41 hammer? molds.
#1 .41 Lyman - the shank size is .397 Used on .41 caliber Lyman molds and a few custom molds.
#2 .416 Rifle - the shank size is .393. These fit on .41 caliber RCBS, Saeco and some custom molds.
#3 .41 BSS - the shank size is .379. These are an improved .41 caliber gas check now used by a few custom mold makers.
#4 .40 BSS is a gas check especially made for .368 shank 40 caliber NOE bullet mold and other custom .40 caliber molds.

Got the mold in hand and it measured.379 so the gator 41BSS it is! Ordered two thousand from sage outdoors. Got two cavities with the hex pins and two with the solid. Can’t wait to fire up the pot!

No, they are from RCBS, but it's old stuff.

Same as my mold measures. It'll be a while before I'll have the time to cast so keep us posted on your success. |

I never knew there were different shank diameters on 41 molds. Learn something new every day!

The good thing is my 3 MP 41 molds all use the same GC.
