210 gr. Rem. HP over 20.5 gr. WW296 is absolute death on deer and groundhogs and super accurate in my Raging Bull .41.

I am with the other fine upstanding gents-- 22 gr of H110/296 has nearly always shot 210 -225 or so very well
took my first handgun deer with Lyman Keith and 20 gr of h110 for heavier 255 gr 18 gr of h110 as to primers sometimes I use cci 300 or Fed 150 because they are shiney -- normally WWLP

I'm fairly new to the 41 mag craze and only have one notch on it.  I was trying out the Barnes 180 XPB with 23 gr of H110. It is superbly accurate and performed very well on this whitetail. I shot it facing me - bullet entered just above the brisket and was recovered in the rear of his stomach.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

I'm fairly new to the 41 mag craze and only have one notch on it. One heck of a "notch" there, Kim! Nice hog as well, James. I had a .41 Bisley Hunter once upon a time and it shot well, but the scope on the barrel didn't work for me so on down the road it went.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Nice buck I am also a fan of Barnes bullets,i use the 250 grains out of my 454 FA I've shot a few deer with them on damage control permits they do a heckuva job normally watch the deer go down insight.

 great cartridge. 210XTP over 22.0 H110. 80 yards.

Not to sound to repetitive.....210 grain XTP and round about the maximum dose of H110 works with every .41 mag I've ever owned.
Did you know that there are magical animals roaming wild, converting vegetables into bacon as we speak?

I as well would have to add that I also shoot 22 grains of 296 behind a 210 xtp.
Before that, I used 17.5 grains of 2400 with the same bullet and shot very well.
I do shoot a lot of cast (215 Keith) with 5 grains of tightgroup. It's a very fun plinking load.
