No not even close. ......................

What I am talking about is something like I load. I use a Hornady soft swage lead semi wad cutter hollow point loaded to 900 fps in a full length 44 magnum case. This is similar to the old 45 Colt black powder round that will do 95% of what needs to be done with a handgun. Easy to shoot...............

Seems there are a few .44 Special rounds commercially loaded on this list that meet your velocity and bullet style desires.

But guess not ex-zacly what yer looking for.

Perhaps you're looking for a "lite magnum" instead of a heavy side loading for a "standard" round so you can still be shootin' mag loads??

If you reload, then you should be able to dial in something meeting your wishes in either .44 Special brass, or the big magnum casings if having that head stamp is important to you.

Good information. There are several good choices that are NOW available that if the ammo makers would have just brought one of them to market we probably would never heard of the 41 Remington Magnum.
 
Ha-Ha...if S&W never came out with the .41, I'd have 3 less revolvers, one less Marlin 94 and a couple sets of dies!! Long story, but I've been a big fan of the .41 since I was about 14 years old. First center fire handgun I ever shot.
Nothing wrong the 41 Magnum. Why go through all the trouble to bring out a .019 inch smaller and a little lighter "44 magnum" round. If the 41 Magnum round had came out first then there would not have been the need for the 44 Magnum.

However it makes about as much sense as the 41 Special custom revolvers being made today if you want to spend your money.

Ha-Ha..if my favoritest .401 Herter's Powermag had ever been accepted for the perfectest round ever made, neither the .41 or it's slightly bigger .429 sibling (aka .44 Mag) would be needed. The .401 would knock a man down no matter where you hit him...said so right in the catalog, and they'd never lie.
 
401 Herter Powermag was even before my time! :fred:
Ha=Ha. I used to drool over it while reading the mid-60's Herter's Catalogs. I mentioned how I always wanted one to my nephew a few years ago. Last Christmas he and my older brother gave me one and laughed about how I'd never find ammo for it. Bit of work turning .41 Mag shells into .401s, but they work. Last summer I scored 100 virgin genuine Herter's brass casings for it. It won't win any beauty contest, but it's my favorite for sentimental (just plain "mental"?) reasons.
