I have been invited on a deer hunt this weekend. I would like to use my ultimate 41 in 41mag. The problem is that the current load I have ready to go is a 215g SWC with 8gr of unique, so 950fps or so (not verified with a chronograph). I don’t have time to develop a new load before I leave. Shots will be 30 yds or so and the deer around here are 100lb +/-. I can shoot this combination very well.
Would any of you have concerns using this load?
My back up would be my 356gnr, which I have no doubt will do the job, but I have already killed a hog with that one and I wanted to get a kill with my 41.
