SHORT BARRELED 357 LOADS

[deutze]

picked up a 357 ruger speed 6 with a 2 3/4" bbl for a trail gun , fixed sights and shoots the heavier bullets high/left. lighter/faster seem to come closer to perfect poa (point of aim). I got close with 15 gr 2400 and 140 gr bullets but still a little high and that 2400 is loud and flashy. anyone have any good recipes for 125 gr bullets, powder type and wt's? I have some unique and blue dot.

Try the Unique powder with standard primer.
Start around 6.8 gr and work your way up.

done and it's ok for longer ranges, but my use will only be close 25-50' tops and realy wanted to use the hornady 180 gr xtp bullet. am now looking into getting a taller front site, either fiber optic or tritanium, that will pin in place without a lot of mods or be too bulky/fragile and snag holsters.
