Thumbs up Range report; Model 12-2

I won this revolver a week ago and it showed up today at the LGS. Put 4 148 grain wad cutters down range. More this weekend if I get my chores done.

These are great carry revolvers that have become rare. Congrats but be careful about shooting +P.

I too recently purchased a 12-2 in pristine condition and look forward to range work with it--all standard pressure WC rounds. However, is there a JHP standard pressure load that offers some expansion and up its effectiveness for self-defense? Thanks for your suggestions and comments. --c
