I just got a Smith and Wesson Model 19-4 2.5" Snub Nose and hope to eventually get a 4" one. I do plan on shooting mostly .38 special out of it but I do want to occasionally fire .357 Magnum (what's the point of getting a .357 magnum if you're not going to shoot .357s). I'm not interested in 125 grain since I hear they're no good for the Model 19 and potentially have more recoil depending on who you ask (seems to be a YMMV thing).
I was wondering for those who have a Model 19, what's the best 158 grain .357 Magnum load for range use? Something right in the middle, not too hot to be unbearable but not too mild to be considered more of a .38 +P load. And it has to be a Factory load, not a hand load as I do not hand load my own ammo.
