All things held equal, say you loaded 2 bullets. 357 mag. They are the same bullet, lube, powder, ect. The first one is fired through a snub nose revolver. The second one is fired through a lever action rifle. The barrel on the rifle is much longer than the revolver. It will be able to optimize the velocity available from the powder. From what I understand, the bullet will leave the snubbie before the powder is completely turned into velocity, the excess will go right out the barrel but won't propel the bullet.
Because the bullet is faster from the rifle, are you going to have different issues when it comes to leading? Depending on your lube, of course. Is a 357 rifle more apt to lead than a revolver with a shorter or very short barrel?
From what I understand, part of the luxury of casting and loading your own ammo is the ability to tailor your loads to each gun. So by creating your own bullets and ammo, you could come up with a more ideal load for each scenario.
