41 Caliber Hornady Flex tip bullet.

[RSB]

Today was an awesome day! Since their inception I have been bugging Hornady to bring out a Flex Tip for the 41 Magnum.
Well, today my prayers were answered. In a response to an email I submitted I have been informed that a ***NEW*** 41 caliber flex tip, part number 9078 will be available for 2017. The down side is it will be 190 grainer, which at rifle speeds may not be all that bad. I also think this will be a good bullet for my 10" T/C Contender. Now if I can Just get Chiappa to issue me a Rhino in 41 magnum I would be living in caliber Nirvana.

One other thing, If you ever wondered what temperature their brass dryer heats up to, its 140 degrees.

LONG LIVE THE 41 MAGNUM!!!!

I wonder how those would work in this??

Not quite sure how this is a suggestion but, it's interesting.

It's suggesting that I buy some of them there 190gr Ftx bullets , load em up with some H110 and see if we can't clock those bad boys over 2000Fps coming outa that there Redhawk in the picture . .

Picked these up for my 30-30 loads today - 160gr and some lever revolution powder - I'll make to specs and post the results

if you get up to 2k give us a post. Fastest ammo I've seen for a 41 is just under 1600.
Then again, I don't reload.

surprised any company is really introducing much for the 41 mag, its kind of a dead caliber, although my favorite in a wheel gun.
I always preferred the 180 grain in self defense/hunting rounds but the 190 should work.
