Right after Christmas I picked up used Blackhawk 41 magnum from the classifieds. Really was not looking to add a caliber, but the deal was too good to pass up.
Since I had no immediate plans to reload 41 mag, I started ammo shopping. I grabbed a box of HSM cowboy at Cabela's, all there was at the time, ~$40.
Then I started surfing, found some Precision One on sale for ~22 per box of fifty. Dinked around and let it sell out. So, regular price is ~$27, but I waited. Couple weeks of weeks went by and the sale was back on at $22.
So I ordered four boxes of 200 grain FMJ to try.
To the range I went today.
First of all, these guys use Starline brass, so does HSM by the way.
I don't have a way chrono the Precision One ammo, but the fireball is quite impressive and the recall is substantially more than the cowboy loads.
Oh, the ammo performed like a laser in my Blackhawk at 10 yards.
Yes I know, ten is not far, but I just wanted to get familiar with my BH 41.
I plan on buying more Precision One ammo, saving the brass and maybe putting my single press to work someday in the future.
