44 mag to 41 mag question.

[TAB]

Unless it has a LONG cylinder you can't convert 357 to 41 mag.   I won't even get into the whole perssure diffrences.

.41 special is .10 of inch shorter thatn .41 mag. Same theory as .38 special is to .357 magnum. Max vel. is 950 fps. not that bad with a 210 grain bullet.

Picking up the gun in the morning...


BB makes a 265 grainer at 1350... that sounds like a real pig stoper.  thats 1075 ftlbs. 


I'm still debating if I want to go either 6 or 8" barrel. 

Either way its going to have to wait until I can save up some cash.  with the way things are going that should be oh say march 2159

Think positive, I bet you don't wait a day past 2099

well just for kicks I locked the barrel in the vise on the mill and put a indcator on it.  the bulge is .0281" at its peak.  Thats the outside.  I don't a have a inside mic that small( or that long for that matter)  to see what it is on the inside.

Back in the early 90s I had a gunsmith friend of mine that was a .44 Mag nut and wanted a fixed sighted N frame which they didn't make.  Since I'm a 41 nut and had two M58 and no 4" M57 we canablized the a 58 and 29.  4" HB and .41 cylinder went on the 29 frame and tapered 4" 29 barrel and cylider went on the 58 frame.  Course one barrel had to have a higher front sight built up and the other lowered.  Believe he completed both jobs over a weekend.  The one 58 that was canablized the 4" barrel always shot 100 fps slower than my other 58 (still have that one) but no longer have the hybrid.  Both guns always functioned well without problems.
