I have a S&W model 19-3 (1971) and from what i hear i should only shoot .357m 1/10th of the time and .38s the rest. As for the range, what .38s round is best on my weapon and still accurate for combat practice?
+1You WILL NOT damage your M19 shooting .357 Magnum ammo in it as long as you stay away from 125gr bullets that will generate well over 1400 fps and possible damage your forcing cone. Shoot all the 145gr-158gr bullets you want in it.
As for .38 Special practice ammo. my favorite is 4.0gr W231/HP-38 under a 158gr LSWC bullet.
