I've run into this with a .357 load, but in my case, the bullet moved forward out of the case and stopped the cylinder from moving. The first shot was actually pretty good, but I'm going to have to rethink using them in magnums. Even with a good crimp, the bullets jumped forward. Didn't have...
It's funny how barrels are measured. For a revolver, the actual barrel is measured, not including the cylinder length. A semi-auto it's the length of the barrel, including the chamber, so muzzle to the breech face. A bullet from a 4" revolver travels the same distance as a bullet from a 5"...
BTW, I also haven't cronoed it from my 6.5" Ruger Blackhawk yet, as I purchased that after the range session. Next time I have a decent weekend open and can get to Clark Brothers, I'll take them all out to test this load out.

I use a just below max load of Blue Dot behind a polymer coated 180gr lead bullet and get over 1400 fps with no pressure signs. I have tested it in a Dan Wesson Silverback and a S&W 610 with 4" barrel. I have not tested (and used a cronograph) this load with my Ruger 3" GP100, 4.25" SA XM10...

PG trap and skeet rents Beretta shotguns. They come in a variety of sizes. Might want to take her there to try different sized shotguns instead of guessing and hoping someone has that shotgun.
I used to reload for th 6.8 SPC, great cartridge, just stockpiing the ammo for now. Anyway, I got a lot of good info from https://www.68forums.com/forums/ My most accurate loads were with 110gr Accubonds. I used up all of the powder and bullets I had that were from the same lot, have about...
I used to shoot sporting clays every once in a while. I either take my Browning Superposed (both were under $1200 each) or I take my most expensive shotgun, a Benelli M2 Custom Shop 3-gun Edition ($2400). The Benelli has a 10-shot tube, which sticks out past the 24" barrel. I get the...
