I used to have a Blackhawk in .38/.357/9mm, and the .38 was more accurate than the 9mm out of the same gun.

Two S&W 45s
The 45 ACP is chambered in the top revolver. Both are accurate and easy to handle. For years I preferred the ACP but recently have begun to favor the long Colt chambering.
S&W has been building target revolvers in 45 ACP for decades. And they shot well with or without clips. It was not uncommon to see competitors unloading the ACP empties from the cylinder with a short rod, very carefully.
That said, when Ross Seyfried had a MOA revolver built, he chose the 45 long Colt for the chambering. And got one inch (or less) groups at 100 yards.

Sixgun Nut
And I've got a New Frontier with .457" chamber mouths but it still manages to shoot a .452" 250gr RNFP over 9.0gr Unique, or a .452" 275gr LFN over 2400 into one ragged hole at 25yds. However, you can't always expect a sixgun with grossly oversized chamber dimensions to shoot that well.
