Who shoots one of the Tracker's in the caliber and what should you hold the max load to? I think it is the same frame that they use for the .41 magnum--the compact frame.

I have the .41. The Tracker has a shorter cylinder than either my BH or Mt Gun in 41. I suspect you may be limited as to the length of the bullets you use. The larger for bore .41s stick out of the cylinder. I am talking about the 230-265gr cast bullets that really let this caliber shine. You may see the same situation with .300gr bullets.

Course trimming the brass back is an option, but I haven't done it yet.

As far as pressures go, I am leery of pushing too hard. I have Rugers and the Smith for that. On the other hand I get 1400fps with the 170 gr Sierra out of that little 4" barrel and no sign of excess pressure.

If it were me, I'd aim for factory pressures to start, and see what it likes. I know H-110 has a long pressure curve and works well with the .41s. It may be the place to start with the .45

What loads does your 41 like? I just bought a Titanium Tracker in 41 and I'm looking for feedback from other people on what their guns like.

All I have records for is 13.5gr of SR 4756 with the 170gr Sierra. This is good for 1400fps from my gun. Accuracy is the same as with the S&W and Rugers I have.

Recoil feels about the same as with S&W Mt. Gun. The porting seems to work for me.
