I'm the proud owner of an almost new *&* Model 66, with a 2.5 inch barrel. And, while I've done a lot of searching I can't seem to come up with the correct combination of words to get a whole lot about ammunition selection for short barrels. And, my experience has been primarily with 9mm long barrel pistols. So, any help is appreciated.
I know that the supposed king of "stopping power" in .357Mag is supposedly the 125 JHP. But, I'm assuming that this is from a 4+ inch tube.
So, I'm wondering if sticking with 125gr rounds is best from the shorter barrel, or is a lighter/faster round like the 110gr better? Or, would it be better to use a heavier round, like the 158grainers? Or, does it even matter?
