John Ruth Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 So I have 3 reloading manuals and cannot find a load for a 195gn SWC for the 41 with 231 powder. Does anyone know where I can find that data? It needs to be 231 since that'd really all I've got in any significant quantity. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 HP-38 is the same powder as W231. Load data is 100% interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I have a Winchester loading pamphlet from 1995 that lists a 210 gr lead bullet with 7.4 gr of 231 for 1125fps and 28000cup. No other data for lead bullets in .41 mag. Imis before I posted this SD commented, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Matt Dillon Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I have 11 reloading books. None of them list 195gr swc bullets. Closest lead bullet is 200gr, but not that powder. closest bullet using that powder is a 210gr jacketed xtp running 1089 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 MD Smith reloading page is a great resource. 200 grain jacketed HP-38(W-231) 6.9 gr = 903 ( max load) -10% to start = 6.2 gr Lead conversion of .3-.5 hr = 5.7-5.9 grains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Try 6.5-7.0gn of WW231 with that lead bullet. Use a firm roll crimp. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG I would even start with 6 and read the primer. What gun? I am usually not as nervous with my contender or super black/redhawk as i am with a smith 57 or taurus. Rifle?

John Ruth Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Appreciate all the input! I should have a solid starting point for these rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rifle? 3 screw blackhawk, so less concerned with pressures and such than I would be with 'inferior' guns. But still sound advice regardless!

But still sound advice regardless! Yep, but some of the loads posted are jacketed data. A little hotter then lead data. That powder is only listed in my books for jacketed bullets. I did forget to look at my “ruger only” data. I will check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
