There are sometimes Questions about barrel length and the effects of it on velosity. Here is s0me info to give you an Idea on some calibers in some cases.

A pistol caliber in a revolver verses a closed rifle chamber also is usually a bit faster in a closed chamber vs oped revolver due to pressure escaping by the revolver design. Also slower burning powders in a pistol caliber tend to make bigger differences in longer rifle barrels than with faster burnibg powders.
