A tale of 2 bullets...XTP and A-Frame in 41 magnum

[Ridgerunner665]

.039" shorter than the Swift, but .014" longer than the XTP.

That fits with the load data, the data for the Nosler bullet generally maxes out with a little less powder than the XTP, I suspected it might be a little longer.

interesting article .... I know what a 44 mag can do to a big boar and have no doubt that a 41 mag can do so as well

Reviving my thread from last year with an update...

Just got back from the range doing preseason shooting, the load using the 210 Swift A-Frame is still shooting spot on this year... but the load using the 210 Hornady XTP isn't, nothing changed, same batch of bullets, brass, powder, and primers but this one is now shooting a little low and to the right, and a 2 inch group at best... last year both loads hit the same point of aim and with similar group size.

Not sure what changed... but it did change... no worries though, the A-Frame load is the meat getter anyway, and its shooting into a nice ragged hole at 100 yards (~1 moa).

Still really enjoying my BBSC 41 mag! Truly a joy to shoot!
