With the proliferation of 41 mag data presented here, I was just curious
as to how other folks viewed the .41.

I bought a S&W 57 specifically for metallic silhouette competition, and
just about threw the S.O.B. away 3 months later.  Tried jacketed, tried
lead, tried a broad range of powders.  Up to 100 meters, it was deadly;
beyond 100 meters.... well .... I couldn't throw it that far anyway.

Went to a D.W. .357 and use 200 grn rifle bullets with moderate success...
I now can hit what I aim at, although sometimes they refuse to fall.

Am most curious to know how other users of the .41 like it.  I came away
thinking the .41 was the dog.... maybe the S&W was the dog.  What say?
