My 6'' 686 is one of the most accurate handguns I own. It groups within a postcard @ 50 yards off a rest. If you're shooting off bags, I suggest you try resting your hands on the bags or using a solid pistol rest.
Them are not good groups from 25'. They are actually bad IMO. My 4' 586 will shoot a 2" group at 25 yards all day with .38's from a firm snadbagged rest with my hands touching the bags and elbows and forearms rested on the bench.

Another tip. Do Not consume ANY caffeine or nicotine before your next session.
I don't know if you quoted the wrong post or if you misread MY post. But I clearly stated I was shooting @ 50 yards....not 25 feet. A postcard is 3''X5'' and staying inside of that @ 50 yards is at least as good as the accuracy you claim @ 25yards .......but then my gun don't have a 4 foot barrel. Maybe you should avoid caffeine or nicotine before your next internet session.
