just a fwiw (ymmv!)
over 12 years ago, perhaps a bit more, I ran a test of several calibers firing factory ammo from handguns and rifles, think it was published on the old Sixgunner board. Final test was 357mag from my 6" resolver and my 20" Rossi carbine, avg FPS for the 6" was 1255 and for the Rossi 1664. That was for the old Remington 165gr CoreLoktHP. I can tell you that the Rossi put a hard cast 180gr slug thru the ears of a +/- 700lb feral boar with no problem, dropping him in his tracks. Still have the skull if anyone wants to examine the bullet holes!
Would love to have a 16" version of my Rossi, much better truck gun and still plenty of whomp.
