Ruger .41
« on: April 24, 2008, 11:57:45 AM »
Has anyone slugged the cylinders of a Ruger .41 Mag?  If you have, I would love to know what the diameters you have found.

I am asking for the purpose of doing some cast bullet shooting.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

I size my bullets .410 and shoot them.  They all hit the targets so I haven't done any slugging.  I can consistently hit an IHMSA pig at 100 yards with my 4 5/8" barrel so I don't see a problem with what I have.  (I won't say how I do on turkeys at 150)

I`m not sure how much difference a .001 makes anyway. I have a .411 Hawk, .411 bore, that will shoot sub moa with .410 pistol bullets. As long as your not so small that your shaving lead I`m not sure that you can not get them to shoot.

I am planning to get an LBT mould for a BK I am getting soon.  Could one of you guys let me know what nose length I would need to order? 

Just measure from the front of the cylinder to the end of a chambered and crimped case (unloaded and unprimed of course).

Many thanks and sorry for asking this, but I really wanted to get in on the sale.

Thanks,
Shane

I believe that Ruger Blackhawks in 4,1 44, and 45 can take a .45 nose (according to the LBT catalog).

Oly,  slugging someone else's gun won't help you a lot I don't think. Best to slug your own before ordering an LBT mold.  I often read that 41's are often cut more uniformly than some other calibers but it would be nice to see some data to support that.
