I just got a used NM Blackhawk in 41 magnum, a caliber new to me. It will be strictly a range toy for paper punching and the occasional steel plate, so I don't have to worry about hunting power loads or jacketed bullets.
Is a 215 grain SWC an appropriate target bullet? Missouri Bullets, where I get most of my cast bullets, offers them.
Do I need a factory crimp die? I usually use the Lee carbide three die sets with good results.
If I want to try 41 Special loads, a la John Taffin, is it worth getting Starline 41 Special brass (available at the moment) or just load down the magnum brass?
Thanks for any help and suggestions.
