357 magnum bullet weight?
I know alot comes into consideration when this question is asked but can you tell me on the average what weight bullet is most accurate from statistics out of a s&w model 13 with a 4" barrel? What do most people use for accuracy? Thank You

You might want to try either 125 or 140. I have a dan wesson that has an 8" barrel that I shoot 180 and 200 out of. I know it sounds old, but you might just want to go to the nearest ammo store, buy a couple in both 125 and 140, might even try 110 if you can find them. Then try each in your gun. It might be expensive at first, but you'll be confident in the gun if ever needed to use it, and heck any day target shooting is a good day! 0 -

I've own so many .357's it's silly, including Ruger Blackhawks, Security Sixes, GP-100's, SP-101, Smith 686's, a Model 60-10 and I've alway gotten excellent accuracy with 125gr and occasionally 140gr. In fairness, I've never shot alot of heavy jacketed bullets so I can't say for sure they are better than 158grs. The vast majority were handloads. 0 -
S&W's I have loaded for don't really seem to like 180's, 158 seems to be as heavy as I can go and keep them stabilized. Maybe a revolver with a faster twist rate.

I have Trooper with a 4" tube, it likes 125 grain bullets better than 158 grain, (better accuracy), have a Ruger SP101 and it just kicks a little less with 125 grainers. Shoot 125 grain bulets most of the time. 0
