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.

I never found a boolit that my 1894 wouldn't shoot well!
