Often my 4" guns will show higher velocity with the same load than any of my 6 and 6 1/2" guns! It will take chronographing hundreds of rounds in each gun to make a significant observation of the relative velocity potential of each of your revolvers.
It's an answer, not a question. Who cares if it's not statistically significant? It shows real world results, not Hodgdon's overly optimistic velocities.
Thanks OP
