[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 2022735, member: 9308"] The 140 gr XTP bullets have been very accurate in my 4" GP-100, so I lean that way when looking to do anything "serious" with .357 mag. I see they make a 158gr version, which is more to your liking for bullet weight. The XTP's just seem to be accurate in most guns, so can't go wrong starting there...if only they were available! Your 686 looks great. Hopefully it's a shooter. I really like the front heavy weight of the 586/686 guns. They suck up the recoil & hold steadier for me. I got a dud many years ago, made during Bangor Punta times. Spit tremendous amounts of lead & jacket material out side/forcing cone area. Gunsmith checked it and barrel was on crooked. That particular gun also was recalled as it would lock up tight on full power loads (something to do with firing pin bushing?) None of that soured me on S&W or 586/686 guns. I just got the Friday @ 4pm model. It happens. I hope you can find some bullets to give your new toy a spin around the block. [/QUOTE]
