I shot my new S&W 642 for the first time this week. AT 7 yards a number of my handloaded bullets appeared to be tumbling (ugly holes in the target)
I'm loading 158gr RN Lead bullets using 3.6 - 4.2 grains of W231 powder...with OAL at 1.455
I"m fairly new to reloading...but to date have been pretty successful with making loads. This is the first time I've experienced any tumbling...but also the first time I've shot the snubby
What can I do to improve the bullet flight? what factors do I consider?
thanks
