I was at the range today shooting my model 57. I have a load developed that’s 225 grain coated lead bullet over 6.6 HP-38. Pretty light (relative to the magnum load). I was at 15 yards holding at 6 o’clock and I was in the center target - good groups within about a 3 inch circle. Really good shooting for me and for the amount of rounds I have through the gun.
I then shot my 210 grain XTP over 17.5 grains of 2400 - just a little more horsepower. I was missing left and low. But when I aimed dead center on the “clock” I was hitting the target, but missing consistently left.
Is the left miss a flinch from the magnum load?
The POI difference - is that something to be expected? And how would you handle this… I guess I just need to remember the POI is different and I have to hold over different for each load.
