I took advantage of being in town last weekend and the cooler weather to blend up 50+ pounds of a new to me alloy to hopefully keep the strength and malleability in check for some magnum HP loads in my 41, and 44.

It's just a touch harder than what I am going to use in my 45 Colt at or around 1K fps. Figuring the other two hit mid 1200fps and a little more with my more accurate loads I am hopeful the newer alloy will hold up.

I gave half of it to my hunting pardner to pour up as well so one or the other of us can be working on something useful. I also managed to pour up a number of the MP 41-258's and some of the Ranch Dog C432-240 RFN's to play with as well.
