SP101 not shooting to POA

[FergusonTO35]

That SP went down the road in 2004, however if I ever get another one I will for sure do that. I have a strange desire for a .38 Special model with 2.2" barrel.

At 10 yards, my fixed-sight 3" SP101 shoots PC'd 160 gr. RNFPs over 5.5 gr. Unique (.38 Spl brass) to, essentially, the same POA as the 125 gr. JHP +P factory loads I carry for 'everyday'.

Interesting, my Service Six shoots about the same with 125-162 grain boolits. If there is a difference my shaky hands can't find it. My S&W 10-5 now, is laser accurate with 158's and low with everything else.

Thank you all for your tips on this I'm gonna run a few more loads through it in the next week or so
I may just end up having to hold over for these light loads

You may want to try the Lee 358-150-SWC. It is discontinued but easy enough to find used. It shoots the same as wadcutters in my revolvers. That being said, I think wadcutters may be the optimum choice for a snub nose. They use alot less powder to reach the same velocity.

I had a SP in 22lr a few yrs back. It had adj rear. It would print with anything it shot low. I got
rid of it. Did alright on windage,

yes after i use up the the 158gr plated bullets I plan on just shooting the DEWC and thanks for reminding me
I think i still have a 358477 mold around I can give them a try too

I grew up using a 6 o'clock hold for handguns. One that prints low drives me nuts. My S&W Shield .40 S&W shot low with 180gr so down the road it went.
