I think that's kind of the gist of the OP's question.
Groo here
It is NOT necessary to "Shoot what you carry" in a revolver [ or an auto]
This is a carry over from when we first started using HP ammo
and autos.
Many would not "feed" the HP so you needed to shoot
the same stuff to make sure it worked.[revolvers eat most anything]
A good accurate load that will not wear you out and a "few" heavies
to make sure they still work and hit where you want,will work fine.
You are working on Grip,Trigger control,Sight alignment etc.
Don't mess your self up with a hard kicking load most of the time.
You will react as you have trained light load or heavy.
We are built that way.
Ever notice if you shoot both revolvers and autos,
You usually shoot both at the same speed???
