I never thought about the possibility of a light loaded boolit sticking in the barrel of my Marlin .357.
I figured even with the longer barrel, there is no cylinder gap to bleed off pressure.
Plus, with the potential energy lost in a muzzle flash-- the rifle would capture all that too.
The idea does make me want to clock some and see if they might be even a little faster than coming out of a 6" revolver.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
I never found a boolit that my 1894 wouldn't shoot well!
