Snubby .357 revolvers bring another factor into the mix that may not be readily apparent.
About 1976 I loaded up my new Model 19 2.5" with SuperVel 110-grain JHP and cranked off 6 rounds, fortunately outdoors at the time so the blast was not debilitating. Time to eject the fired cartridges, found they were firmly stuck in the chambers, and that tiny little shortened ejector rod could not get them out. It took a dowel rod and a mallet to remove the fired cases.
Definitely not the ideal situation if faced with the need to reload during a social engagement.
I have had similar experiences with Model 28 and Model 27 S&W revolvers, as well as a Colt Python when shooting high-performance magnum ammunition. Difficult to impossible ejection of fired cases, and the short-barreled revolvers multiply that issue with shorter ejection rods.
Something more to think about.
