I've been carrying my 686 4" loaded with .38 Special +P, but I'd like to move up carrying .357 Magnum ammo in it. I practice a lot with .357 anyway, so it would be smarter.
I'd like to carry a load that isn't so hot that follow up shots are difficult, but not the watered down "short barrel" loads either (not any better than .38 +p, IMHO). A 125 grain, 1450 fps load would be preferred, but not the "barn burner" loads. Something with the stopping power that the .357 Mag is known for.
.357 carriers, what ammo do you use? What would be a reasonable load for a 4" 686?
