Anecdotal info probably isn't going to give a true picture since there are a number of variables, which brings the question of WHAT are the variables for actual and perceived muzzle blast?
barrel length
bore diameter
which powder used
how much powder used
?chamber pressure?
?muzzle velocity?

other conditions not related to the cartridge would also play a role in muzzle blast, including lighting among others


I see your point. I guess that I am just looking for general impressions and experience with those cartridges. My guess would be that the Roberts would be the easiest on the shooter of the bunch.
