Well not .41, but lots of 9mm.

Try casting your own, it's really fun, and a whole lot cheaper.
Also spring for one of the (many) reloading cookbooks.  There are usually
8 or 9 different loads for revolver type cartriges.

A big win, they last forever (well almost), but regular dies should last a
long while too (longer than those 150 cases would last anyway).  You have
been lubing you cases haven't you?

Perhaps it's time to spring for some new cases. If you start to use cast
bullets you'll want to eventually anyway.
