I can load .41 Magnum for about the same price as .357 Magnum, or even my 6.5 Grendel rifle. It comes out to about $.90/round if you use new brass, so that cost per round drops with every re-use of the brass. This is also factored using premium bullets, in my case Hornady XTP 210 grain for the .41. If anybody is interested in the parts breakdown, here ya go:
New Starline brass case, $.29 when bought in a lot of 500
Hornady 210 grain XTP, $.27 each from a box of 100
20-ish grains of H110, $.06 from an 8 lb container
Federal 150 primer, $.30 from a lot of 1000
Total per round, $.92
Depending on where you buy materials you might do better than that.
