Updating this thread following some replies in the Facebook group, including some good info from Jacob himself.
In case anyone is interested, here is the testing data from a quick test I did last night-Jacob Wilcox was 100% correct.
Velocity’s were virtually identical, and the SD’s for the 0.357’s were actually better in both conventionally rifled guns (AP5 & VP9 Match RCM threaded barrel) by about 7 FPS less than the 0.355” projectiles. The P30L (polygonal rifling) was only slightly worse on the 0.357” lot, at 13.1 SD vs 7.5 SD on the 0.355”
