As you may know I test all kinds of ammo and now added a .44 to the mix. Haven't done any Chrony work with it yet but hopefully this weekend!
I'm trying to piece together the losses in the revolver versus auto for these calibers. I didn't realize until I looked it up that .357 will hold max 27gr. vs 10mm at 24gr. The 10mm always gets billed as stronger which so far my data agrees. However if both were shot out of a 6" auto I might say the .357 wins out. I'm almost thinking the 10mm with premium ammo out of a 6" may equal a .44 Magnum of the same length barrel in a revolver with gap losses.
