Fury Custom Bullets: Swaged for Superior Accuracy
Fury Custom Bullets, exclusively loaded by Teufel Hunden Ammo, are distinctively swaged, not cast, a crucial factor in achieving their exceptional precision and accuracy. This manufacturing process ensures a more uniform and consistent bullet, leading to tighter groups and reliable performance.
For the .41 Great Lakes, Fury Custom Bullets offers three devastating rounds:
180-grain Fury Bullet: This original .41 Great Lakes optimized bullet boasts a G1 Ballistic Coefficient (BC) of .149. Propelled from a 16.25” rifle barrel, it achieves a velocity of 2563.7 fps and generates 2626.6 ft-lbs of energy. Its optimized design contributes to a flatter trajectory and superior energy retention, providing hunters with an extended effective range. This bullet has been instrumental in hundreds of successful deer hunts across multiple Midwest states.
210-grain Fury Bullet: The workhorse of the .41 Great Lakes selections, this bullet has a G1 BC of .2. It reaches a velocity of 2456.9 fps and delivers a potent 2814.2 ft-lbs of energy. This bullet has proven devastating on game, often resulting in quick recoveries and "dead right there" (DRT) outcomes.
225-grain Fury Bullet: The "big brother" of the series, this powerhouse round has a G1 BC of .210. It achieves an astonishing speed of 2350.1 fps, generating a remarkable 2758.9 ft-lbs of kinetic energy at the muzzle. This unprecedented energy transfer, particularly for a straight-wall cartridge, ensures quick, humane kills on deer-sized game or larger across North America, minimizing tracking and maximizing ethical harvesting.
All Fury bullets, when loaded by Teufel Hunden Ammo, exhibit impressive consistency, with a Standard Deviation (SD) of less than 10 fps and a velocity spread of 20 fps.
Uncompromising Quality and Ballistic Performance
Teufel Hunden Ammunition also meticulously loads all Fury bullet for the .41 Great Lakes, optimizing its full potential. Their stringent control over powder charge, with all inventory loaded to within 0.02 hundredths of a grain, is key to achieving shot-to-shot consistency and impressive sub-MOA (.72”) accuracy. THAM's own tests show this bullet capable of delivering 0.72-inch groups at 100 yards from a 20-inch barrel, with numerous reports from .41 Great Lakes shooters achieving similar or better results.
The .41 Great Lakes Advantage

It offers superior ballistics and more manageable recoil compared to alternatives like the .450 Bushmaster, avoiding the "bone-crushing" recoil often associated with heavier straight-wall cartridges while still delivering potent performance. The introduction of the 225-grain Fury bullet further solidifies the .41 Great Lakes' position as a top-tier choice for hunters in straight-wall-restricted states and beyond.
In summary, all Fury bullets, meticulously loaded by Teufel Hunden Ammo for the .41 Great Lakes cartridge, represents the pinnacle of straight-wall hunting ammunition. The combination of Fury Custom Bullets' precision manufacturing, Teufel Hunden's uncompromising loading standards, and superior ballistic performance makes it an ideal choice for hunters seeking reliable, accurate, and ethically effective rounds for medium to large game across North America.
