basically a .41 mag that uses 401 bullets there biggest failure was that they used a very soft pure lead bullet that leaded up a gun in a few rounds and it gave them a reputation for being inacurate. The sample ive shot have proven to be just the opposite. With bullets made of proper alloy and sized properly they were very accurate guns. My buddy shot them alot and i beleive he was useing strarting loads for a 41 mag to start with and working up from there. One thing you will run into a little trouble with is finding bullets that are heavy enough to work properly. 200 grain is about it in .40s theres a few 220s but not much heavier. If I was to load for one now id have a mold designed for an lfn or swc at about 240 grain
