I reload Goater and a 2" barrel is too short for the powder in a full load magnum or even a .38 special. But Bullseye powder (fastest burning powder) and a lighter bullet will give noticeably enhanced performance. Lots of trouble, well so is amping up D2 to it's best performance as well. Tweaking to max pressure for the gun and load.

Using the firearm analogy a .38 special in a 4" barrel is better and a .357 in a 6" barrel is even better still. Simply means without going to extra tests and measures S30V is like a .357 in a 6" barrel without trying while everything else is in the 2" barrel. My son says his 2" barrel with a .38+P load kicks more than my 6" barrel with a full magnum factory load.
