heavy .41 mag

Does anyone know where I can get heavier bullets for .41 magnum? The heaviest I usually see is 215 or 220gr. I know that Beartooth Bullets offers heavier (250-300gr), but according to their website they have a 6 month backorder.

41 MAGNUM HEAVY BULLETS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM

CAST PERFORMANCE in Wyoming. They are an excellent quality product.

Cabela's carrys Cast Performance. Quick delivery, and they work well in my B'hawk. They do not weigh as heavy as they claim. The 265 is a lot closer to 255...

I've got a Keith at 230 grains, .411 or .412.

Leadhead bullets. He has 265's I think. He also has gas checked if that's your bag. I have used his 310g .454 bullets and they are great.

Cast Performance bullets will be cheaper direct than through Cabella's. You can also order some awesome moulds through him.

I like LAH's idea of the 230g as a more correct weight for 41 Mag; more speed than the heaviers, more sectional density than the 210's.
