Brian: You old dog you. I have always wanted to find someone who had one of the 41 Avenger conversions. I developed a 40 caliber conversion for the 45 that Mr. Pi went and reshouldered slightly and called the 400 CorBon. I can definately remember seeing a picture of the 41 Avenger and thinking to myself 'Dang', someone beat me to the punch. And I always wondered why it didn't catch on. Would have been so easy as the 41 was already an established caliber and at that time there just wasn't the 40 cailber/10mm bullet offerings that were available for the 41.
I figured that with the 170 grain bullet you could smoke them right out of your barrel. I had hoped someone would introduce a 180 or 185 grain bullet or that there were some cast offerings in that weight range because I didn't think the 200 grain bullets could be pushed fast enough from the ACP case to make it very effective for game. I figured the 170 could be pushed close enough to the lower end of the 41 magnum loads to make it a magnum contender and when I developed my conversion for silhouette matches, I used the trajectory tables for the 41 magnums 170 grain bullet to determine my impact at different ranges.
We should swap some load data. I have always wanted to find out how that cartridge fared. Thanks for letting us know. BTW, who made your barrel?? Bar-Sto made mine.
Ya'll can have more fun with 40s and ones. Mikey.
