Very nice, Vince! I am sure you're going to love it, if you don't already.

What's your loading plan?
 
Bear loads using a heavy hard cast Keith wadcutter.
I have the model 58 for bipedal use.

I've been shooting the Lyman 410610 over a max charge of 2400, but I recently tried some Accurate 4100 in my Blackhawk in .44 Mag and the results were very good. I've got hundreds of rounds of the 2400 load for my .41 but I really want to see if 4100 will work as well for .41 Mag. I see no reason why it would not.
 
I'll start with Accurate 9 as its what I have the most of.

Very nice I wish we could hunt with them. What's the kick like on one of those?
 
I think it's fairly mild. :)

More than a 38 Special but less than a .44 Mag and shoots flatter.

The only handgun I have ever fired was a 38 Special years ago belonging to a friend who was a policeman back before they went with semi auto's. You guys sure have it god down there when it comes to handguns.
 
OK.
Think two 38 Specials then with faster muzzle rise . That's as close as I can describe it.

Gerry,

I did a little research.
The bipedal .41 Magnum load is twice the recoil of the 38 Special. Hunting loads are 3+ 38 Specials. For comparison the .44 Magnum is about equal to a 30-06 in your hand.

Vince, that's a real fine looking revolver! Congrats.
Thank you sir.
This and the 58 will be treasured like my Colt 1917 but shot a lot more.

Thanks, hope you enjoy that beauty a lot Vince.
 
Vince that looks to be a fine hand gun. I do not get too excited about hand guns as there are just too many rules & regulations here in Canada.
We did play with them a bit when I was younger.

Blessings,
Dan
 
Very few handguns excite me anymore.
Prelocks still do however and I've always been enamoured with th .41 Magnum.

Put a set of rubber stocks on today.
I like them better than wood.
