It does shoot 3-4" low at 30 feet, so he'll need to get a taller back sight, try a hotter load, or just live with it as it is. At 25 yards it's 10-12" low.
I'm open to any advice on correcting that issue. Easy, shoot the 158gr lead bullets it was designed for. Don I was just going to say. That seems to solve a lot of problems shooting .38's. But the ejector rod still won't clear the cases, at least it won't on my 66.

Even though the Model 19 and 66 are .357 Magnum revolvers, with the 2.5 inch model, I use .38 Special cases exclusively, just for that reason. The "FBI Load" provides you with suitable power as well as the ability to make quick follow up shots. Don

The load I was shooting wasn't blowing the cases out enough to stick in the chamber, but you're right they won't fully clear the 38's.

Point it straight up at the sky and work the ejector smartly.
