Question Selecting range ammo and carry ammo for a 686 3"

I just came from the range where I shot a box of their .357 125 gr. JHP reloads. I had to raise the rear sight 2 clicks to get the shots where I was getting them with PMC 158 gr. JSPs that the LGS included with my purchase of the 686. The target was at about 10-12 yards. Please help me avoid reinventing the wheel...What are some good combinations of ammo for practice and carry that will place about the same on a target at 10 yards? Last week I used some 158 gr. 38s from WalMart which were pretty close, and were cheaper than the 357 reloads.

I realize this will bring out many different personal favorites, but I guess that's what I want to see. TIA.
