In fact, the Long Rifle losses about the same velocity, percentage-wise, from rifle to revolver as the Mag.

Maybe we should dump all of our 44 mags and 357s because:

A. They lose velocity in a handgun as compared to a rifle.
B. The .38 and 44 Special are not as loud
C. The Specials cost less
D. I read on the internet that they are "just as good"
