All of these fired and exited the barrel. I am not sure I would want to go lower than 1.6 grains. It was a very puny load. Felt like shooting a 22.

Well keep going until it squibs in the barrel and then you have your answer.
All rifles are going to be different.
And this method is stupid. A rifle will squib easier than a revolver just because of barrel length. If you're really intending to shoot very soft loads, check a Lyman reloading manual. They offer many loads for cast bullets. Don't be surprised if the starting loads squib in your 20" barrel.Do you think a squib would be more likely to happen in a revolver or a rifle? It seems like a revolver would bleed off some pressure through the gap between cylinder and forcing cone. On the other hand the rifle would most likely have a longer barrel creating more friction to overcome.
