I am currently shooting the following load in my FA 41.
Nosler 210HP
WLP
Starline Brass
11.5gr SR4756
1.580 OACL Firm roll crimp

1475fps and 1.5" center to center groups @100yds (5 shot)

I know whose fault it is when I miss a target, and it isn't the load or the gun.

Good luck, shoot well, have fun.

Doesn't your swaged bullet work? Did you get the gazzilion half jackets?
I thought you would be using those.

Of course I thought I would be shooting the 353!

I only bought 20k of the jackets and I have not yet had time to switch over. I do have every intention of doing that, but I just moved and I'm not back into production yet. I will have to load test first. Until then I'll stick with what is working.

Good memory. Someone has to keep me honest.
Have fun, shoot well.

For FA's only! These loads are untested in any other firearm, and I don't promise they will work in your FA. Work up loads slowly.

16 Grains of VV N-110, Leadhead's 270grain cast bullet, Starline brass & Federal 155 Magnum primers will give you 1,370 fps.

Substitute 16 Grains of IMR-4227, and you'll be just under 1,100 fps.

Both loads are very accurate in their respectiev revolvers. The IMR load shot the first Revolver 40 in the state of Ohio a few years ago.
