I'm a 'newbie' to the group and have a question thats puzzeling me.
I'm reloading ammo for my .357 and here's whats going on with two loads.....
1) .357 Wad Cutter 148 Gn with 3gn's of Titegroup. These rounds are right on the bullseye at 15 yards.
2) .357 Copper Jacket 158 Gn with 5.5 Gns of Titegroup. These rounds land about 6" low at 15 Yards.
Now in my simple mind, the copper jacket rounds while heavier have almost twice the powder as the wad cutters so should be landing in almost the same spot as the wad cutters.
Must be missing somthing here ......
any thoughts will be most appreciated !
