Fact, note food for thought. In my 6” barreled python the 140 gr jhp is accurate to 100 yds. I’m not sure how accurate it is in a snubbing. Using 2400 powde.
Barrel length has no real impact on accuracy. The reason so many people say snubbies are inaccurate is because of the short sight radius combined with the lighter weight of the revolver making accurate shooting by hand much more difficult.
