.41 MAG, have you ever recovered any of those Rem 200gr SJHP bullets? if so could you post a pic. Also where does one find loading info for that specific bullet? I've been thinking about giving this bullet a whirl just for giggles.
336A,
I might have already answered you with a PM but don't remember. For load data I simply use the loads listed for the 210gr on Hodgdon's site. Primarily I use 20.5grs of 296 in Starline cases lit with Win-WLP primers. I seat them so that I have just a slight roll into the bottom edge of the cannalure. I have found that the case tension, coupled with the very slight roll crimp goes hand in hand with accuracy. Too many times I have seen rolled crimps that were severely overboard, and can't be good for an accurate load. This pic shows the difference between a slight roll and a tight roll. Both groups were shot free hand at 40yds, and all loads were identical, with only the crimp being lessened on the right hand side. It should have been a tighter group that what it was but I simply wasn't used to the trigger on my friends 657. It's a bit sweeter than the one on my RH for sure.
As for pictures of recovered bullets, I don't have any of them, as I usually don't get any back. I only recently began to try and catch what I shoot to reuse the lead, and the 200's are used for hunting and I haven't shot any since I started pouring lead. They shoot great however, hit hard, and usually drop things right on the spot. My close friend and I have dropped several hogs in the 200# range at distances out to over 100yds with them, and it is amazing how flat they really shoot, and how hard they hit out that far. Even there we get a pass through when the shot goes where it is supposed to go.
As of late I have been slowly gravitating more and more towards the cast side of things. I already have a couple of molds from Lee and the AWESOME MP brass ones. The MP 41-HG 258, as mentioned above is an awesome mold and has shown remarkable accuracy with a couple of different alloys. The first group I shot with them in the straight flat nosed SWC version,was simply a one hole group. It hit high left of my target, not being sighted in for them, and I had to hold over to keep form blowing the bucket apart. Still I put 4 rounds in an area which could almost be covered by my thumbnail at 25yds.
I'm on two other group buys for this caliber right now with one being the Lite 41 which hopefully will replicate the 170gr Rem to some degree, and another in the venerable "640" configuration. I already have the .452 version as well as the .432 version, and am waiting arrival of the .359, so I figured I might as well bite the bullet, (pun intended) and have a full set.
One thing about these molds, while they might be a bit high, you get what you pay for #1, and you have the options usually to pour up 3-4 different bullets form the same mold. They usually come with a small, large, and sometimes penta HP pin as well as the blank for pouring FN versions.
Anywho nuf rambling for now I got work to do, lead to melt, and bullets to sort through. OH whoa is me......
