Find out what they've got and what they recommend. The answer to "what should I use" will also depend on how far you're going to be shooting. Do you know the answer to that?
ETA: You're young, so I'll also add to be sure to be a "good guest." Offer to clean the rifle and put everything back nice and neat. That's a good way to help ensure that you get invited to shoot again.

Not quite. And it could be very difficult to answer this question if this is your first physics class (which I am assuming that it is). However, by then end of this project (or this school year) you will certainly understand the reasoning why this occurs.

What to shoot? The gun with the greatest difference in bullet weight.
The .38/.357 has a pretty wide spread. ~90gr. to 200 gr. Probably a good idea to keep to the same bullet type; for example wadcutter, hollow point, lead round nose, etc. |

A situation as you describe, does exist in our shooting world. (find that, for extra points!) But that set of circumstances is not the answer to my question. Quote:
Good Luck!
