I'm beginning to experiment with loads for my .357 Mag Rossi M92 carbine with 20" barrel. These will be for target and silhouette shooting, not hunting or HD. If I decide to try hunting, and definitely for HD, I'm going to go with either Buffalo Bore or Hornady's LeveRevolution, but that is another story for another day.
Given the tubular magazine, I'm looking at flat point bullets, including hollow points, and will be working with plated bullets, not lead or jacketed, for personal and cost reasons alone. I plan to use X-treme plated bullets with cannelure, using a moderate roll crimp at the cannelure, over HP-38 loaded below 1500 fps. I might also experiment with Berry's loaded below 1200 fps.
Given the choices of hollow point, flat point, semi-wadcutter, and round nose flat point, which is likely to be most accurate and have the least drop at longer ranges (100+ yds)? I understand there might be more than one good answer and appreciate learning from other's experience.
