the shorter cases actually manage better chambering. It shoots the same, which is great. I can't explain but my Ruger .357 shoots 9mm just fine in that different cylinder, what a bullet jump! Under size yet.
My .357 Maximum factory TC barrel was total crap with .38 Specials, ditto my .45/.410 and .45 Colt. However I rechambered a regular .357 tube to Maximum, with a corrected throat, and it is a one-holer with .38 Specials. Not sure of the dynamics in play, but that is fact.
I find longer cases in revolver "clips" are more glitchy than shorter ones. Something to do with the leverage of longer cartridges and wobble. I have wanted to rent a reamer and hog mine to 10mm Magnum (1.25" cases) but I just can't seem to get it done. I have more powerful wheelguns if I need power. This is a mid-size frame so I really don't need to over tax it anyway. A 200 gr. at 1300-1400 fps seems plenty for now.

- In the GP those long seat 10mm are an easy fix - WB, 2019-12-12, 09:21
