PLEASE NOTE 10.8 grains is the Published MAX load in the Alliant reloader guide. I went up 0.2 grains to 11 grains and the an additional .5 grains to 11.5. I did not notice any excessive pressure signs, cases extracted fine and primers were fine. Please work up your own loads slowly. I was using a Ruger Redhawk in 41 Magnum with a 7 1/2" barrel. Next time I will test using the 8" 741 and see how it shoots.

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more
humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”
-Henry David Thoreau
“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether
they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”
-Henry David Thoreau
