I have been reloading for my Python for quite a while. I have recently changed the orginal grips to Hogue combat rubber grips and then my point of impact went up about 8-10 inches at 25yds with 158gr loads. I want to carry this concealed, but i dont want to be shooting that high. I was wondering if i should load a heavier (170-180gr) or a lighter bullet (125-149gr)? I would like to load Speer Gold Dots, so i hope it would be best to go down to 125gr (they only come in 125 and 158gr). Thanks.

load the lighter bullet and your point of impact will drop. the lighter bullet is traveling faster, faster= flatter trajectory. see my post about my superblackhawk shooting high. I dropped to 200 grain xtp's and impact dropped 6 inches at 50 yards.

Have you changed your grip any? I am not talking about the the new parts of your gun either. How tight you grip the thing and where the hold is has a lot of effect on point of impact. Slim

no grip change.
