HOW ABOUT A GEL TEST COMPARISON OF A FEDERAL 357B 125 GRAIN .357 MAGNUM FIRED FROM A 6" OR GREATER BARREL VS. A PDW, SUCH AS A CQBR 10.3" BARRELED UPPER FIRING M193, M855, M855A1, MK262, OR HORNADY TAP 75 GRAIN. THROW IN .300 BLACKOUT FOR GOOD MEASURE FROM A SIG RATTLER.
What I would really like to see is a test of .357 lever guns with barrel lengths of 16", 18", 20", and 24" with both the Leverevolution and standard handgun rounds. Do the increased barrel lengths provide any benefit?
