Yesterday I received my bullets from Montana Bullet Works I can't wait to do a load work up with these nice looking bullets. I'll be reserveing these strictly for hunting loads for my Ruger .41 mag BH. Here it is pictured with a commercial cast 215gr SWC (actual weight is 210gr), Sierra 210gr JHC, and Hornady 210gr JHP.
Thats a nice looking bullet.What powder and velocity you gonna shoot them at. Which pistol you using them in ?
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
250 Savage... its what the 223 wishes it could be...!
I'll be shooting these out of my 4 5/8" Ruger BH .41 mag I bought new last year, I'm going to do a load work up with 2400. I'm going to work up to the MAX charge of 19gr and see how it goes, of course I'll be going with accuracy over all else.

Gotta love those 4 5/8"barrels. I got one in 45 colt. Carry real nice and out of the way. Need to get one for a mate to my 357 Puma. It just never ends.You ever plan on buying a Marlin 94 in 41mag?

Get the new Rossi RioGrande in .410... So what if it's a smoothbore?, it shoots .41 bullets...
C2N14... because life is not energetic enough. מנא, מנא, תקל, ופרסין Daniel 5:25-28... Got 7.62?
Not Depressed enough yet? Go read National Geographic, July 1976 Gott und Gewehr mit uns!
I finally got to the range today to try out my 220gr Montana Bullet Works bullets. I had 5 rounds each with 18.5gr and 19.0gr of 2400. The 18.5gr load was pretty stout to say the least, the 19.0gr load was more of a WHOA MOMMA Recoil with that load is all I ever care to endure to be sure. Both loads were very accurate at 10yd considering my meager skill, the 19.0gr charge was a bit tighter but not much cases ejected with ease, and there was no signs of excessive pressure. I plan on sticking with the 18.5gr load however as it and my 8.5gr Unique share the same point of impact. The 19.0gr load was about an inch or so below point of aim.
I also experimented by shooting some 215gr SWC bullets with 8.5gr of Unique with out LLA being applied. I had more leading than I expected so I'm going to continue lubing my commercial cast bullets with the stuff. I also have some 230gr Keith bullets on the way from Dry Creek can't wait to give them a whirl next I'm not planning on running those to full throtle however. I'm going to see how they like 8.0gr - 8.5gr of Unique.
