I am honored that you have allowed me to post mail to this site, and I will make my message short and to the point. I have looked everywhere and can find only "full blast" magnum loads for the .41 magnum. I am a disabled american vet and can no longer even consider running away from threats in my home to my wife or myself. I own a pristine 6" mod. 57 Smith&Wesson which needs to fill two roles: as a hunting weapon it suits my needs well but the second need is for a reasonably powerful load with a lead load SWC at around 850-950 fps. We live way out in the country, so I am not particularly concerned about overpenetration, as long as I can obtain a load which is effective without deafening me, should I need it (God forbid) or causing temporary blindness if needed at night. Has anyone out there in "reloading land" tried such a load and could you please pass it on to me? I thank you in advance and pray God's blessings on you all! David Berry
