Fairly savvy bunch of moderators, wouldn't ya say?

Physics aside, here is what has worked for me in the .38/.357 realm. This is based on 2 N-frames, a Ruger Sec-6 and a B-Hawk.

If zeroed for 125 gr JHP, full bore factory, ....148 gr WC factory would shoot to same POA, back to 25 yds. NOw that is my revolvers, and I suppose somebody else's could behave differently.

Problem is, I don't really shoot that much 125 JHP or .38 WC! But....ya might try that combo if looking for a common point of aim/point of impact.
