Rossi 46 shoots high

[Brush_hog]

I have a Rossi model 46-1 (snub .357). Whenever I have taken it to the range it shoots really high. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some ammo that they have found that groups well with this gun.

I also have a smith 64 and 638. I shoot well with those so it is not a case of not knowing what to do with the sights.

Thanks,
JB

You need to hold the gun tighter or switch to a lighter bullet or a hotter load
the bullet is staying in the barrel too long

Try some loads with 125-grain bullets. Lighter, faster bullets impact lower on a target as a general rule. Shoot some from a bench at 15 yds. That should give you a fairly good indication of where it is printing.

If that doesn't work, I'd avail myself of the Rossi service department. The front sight isn't tall enough.
