[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3064993, member: 3099"] I haven't chrono'd each load to compare, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. I have chrono'd the GD short barrel out of my 442 when I had it. It was within 2 FPS of the factory stated velocity which surprised me. I've also chrono'd a screaming handload out of my 2.5" .357 magnum snubbie and the idea that a magnum round of a snubbie isn't any better than .38 is pure unadulterated hogwash. That load was with a vastly slower powder (actually a fast rifle powder) and it was pushing 1300 FPS. It wasn't a max load either, as a matter of fact is was a starting load straight from the Vhit manual. I don't really care to push that particular gun any harder since it's a pre-lock, pre-MIM model.
