.41 rem magnum

AL7 powder with Montana Bullet Works 240gr Cast Bullet. I carry a Ruger Redhawk Alaskan in Bear Country. Tame enough to shoot accurately and deadly enough to kill the maneaters.
 
I'm pretty partial to my 7.5" Redhawk. It has served me well for quite a while. I usually shoot the Remington 200gr SJHP for most things in the woods and haven't been disappointed. In the past decade or so however I have been pouring up cast bullets more and more.

I have added the following to my arsenal,

From L-R
Rem SJHP 200grs
MP 413-640 LGHP - 215grs
NOE 412-238 - 220grs
MP 41-265 LGHP - 262grs loaded for 260gr.

I recently worked up some loads using some surplus magnum pistol powder with the above and got the following results at 50yds

Rem - 1480fps good accuracy
413-640 - 1500fps good accuracy
412-238 1475fps good accuracy
41-265 1425fps good accuracy

I still need to tweak them in a little bit but they all shot well and any could have easily been used for hunting loads. I just haven't messed around much with either the powder or the cast bullets in this one.

My standard load is usually the 200gr Rem over 20.5gr of 110/296 for around 1350fps, which is very accurate and has taken quite a few hogs, a couple out to 100+/-yds and a couple of Whitetail's.
