Hello all, writing from Afghanistan, home in December!
Alright, here is my question, I just bought a 357 SS Rossi 6 shot revolver with a 2 inch barrel. When I carry this for personal protection, it seems that I should carry a heavy grain bullet with a hot load to maximize the potential of the short barrel. Is this right? My reasoning is that a heavy bullet will make more use of the powder in that it will respond slower than a lighter grain bullet, and receive more energy before leaving the barrel. I know I have not said this with any technical understanding so please be kind.
God bless and thanks for your answers.
