Question for the group...
One of the most heavily advertised advantages of buying a .357 magnum revolver over one rated for 'just' .38 special is that one can use the less expensive .38 special rounds for practice sessions but use the full boat .357 magnum bullets for SD or carry use. It's one of the reasons, but not the main one, that I bought a GP100 last week.
But that got me to thinking...
Since my GP has an adjustable rear sight, if I were to adjust to a zero using .38 special rounds at, say, 15 or 25 yards, how far off with the zero be when then switching to .357 magnum? I know there are a lot of variables, but was just wondering about it. Has anyone found a combination of brands/bullet weights that come real close to being the same?
Thanks,
B
