Good morning
On the practicle side of matters I started shooting Steel with my 15-2 and found the 10" barrel to be the best length-fps option with heavy loads of 296 & a 180 gr GC bullet. Never tried a 12" as I found the velocity gain between 8"-10" was not really that much. But that 10" is still the most accurate 357 180 grain barrel I have.

Thats very interesting. Now I would be curious as to the twist rate of the DW 10" and how that accuracy compares to the 1:12 twist rate of the EWK barrel in light of the fact that you commonly shoot such a heavy bullet.
