Hey Dark,
I have also found that to be the case with my revolvers. I have a Ruger Security Six .357 with a 2 1/2 inch barrel and a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag with a 7 1/2 inch barrel. With either gun, I get the same results with #9 shot out to 15 feet. In my case, however, I do not use plastic shot holders. I simply use the Magnum cases with once gas check seated directly on the powder, then fill the case with shot, and then cover the shot with a second gas check that will be right at the top of the case, and follow this with a rounded crimp that holds the top gas check in place. The first or bottom gas check is placed in the case with its "skirt" up toward the case mouth. The second gas check is placed atop the shot with its "skirt" down toward the case head. You have to do some figuring to determine how much powder and how much shot can be used in either load, but my loads are designed to maximize the amount of shot.
Best wishes,
Dave Wile
