I could figure this stuff out on my own easily but I am in a crunch. Selling house and hitting the road in a new 5'er for some years to follow the 70deg temp gradient line and have fun.
I have my main LR accurate rifle + others all lined out and have figured out a way to reload while traveling.
I decided to get into some easy fun and challenging shooting so I bought a cherry 357 S&4 6in. 686-4 and also a safe queen unfired Mid 80's 357 Browning lever 1892. (rare).
Plan is to put optics on both and bust rocks and steel at 100-150 yds. I have loaded a zillion rounds for accurate rifle but not versed on handgun and don't have the time to get it dialed in before I leave. BUT I want to order the correct components now before I hit the road.
Where I need help is on the rifle. It has a 20in 38T barrel and I want to shoot a fast flat shooting bullet so I assume 125gr would be the way to go and probably a HP style to get the weight more to the rear for stability and no mag tube explosions.
My understanding is boolits and electroplated lead are for slow and short range and real jacketed are for fast and accuracy.
Does anyone have experience playing around with what I want to do? I need to figure out a powder to use and stock up on it. Most of what I have been able to find on forums is for modern faster twist levers for hunting with heavy bullets or for close range 'cowboy' shooting and plinking. I'm all ears!
