Finally picked one of the 1894 .357's a couple of weeks back, paid $1099 + ttl at big box store. Had it out between rain storms here recently, the action really smoothed out with around 150 rounds of use, love the gun. All shooting was done between approximately 30-80 yards, off hand and across an open water stock tank. Three types of 38 and three types of 357 were used. It definitely seemed to be most accurate with 158 gr ammo, of both 38 and 357 varieties. 125 grain ammo was still acceptable in accuracy across the board. 38 Special+P I did not have on hand. The best accuracy this shooter had was with Remington 158 SJHP "high terminal performance" ammo, this was also the most expensive ammo shot, the second best was plain old 38 American Eagle 158 LRN and this was relatively cheap.
