The problem with the Governor is you get a lot of "blow by" as the bullet travels down the smooth, oversized cylinder. And then... the actual barrel is only 2.75" long. I wish I knew what powder Winchester was using in their commercial defense loads. It seems to have a good burn rate for this application. I had a lot of unburned powder in the barrel and cases with my Unique loads. It was not all igniting and burning.
