I use many Keith bullets from over the counter and custom molds.
I guess my favorite is .41 - 215 k  & 18.3 grains W-296
I use that load in my S&W M-57 Mtn. Gun  & My Marlin 1894 FG  .41 mags.
When I bought the guns I liked them enough to spend some money on them, and make 'em better.
I sent the Smith to the Performance Center and  had them work it over.
Sent the Marlin to Andy Horvath and let him work his magic on it.
They are now both pieces anyone would be should be happy with.
I shot up a lot of lead and powder to find a load they both like.
I'm getting 1250 FPS from the 4" Smith  with 1.5" groups @80 Ft., and 1700 FPS from the Marlin with 2.50" groups @ 100 yds. using Marbles tang sight.
