Sharply bottlenecked cartridges historically don't do well in revolvers. The most famous failure in that regard is probably the .22 Rem Jet, and the S&W (I'd have to look up the model, 53?? maybe?).
Very SLIGHTLY bottlenecked rounds do ok, the .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40 come to mind, but they are all black powder pressure rounds as well.
The Ruger Hawkeye was a unique one. Basically it was their SA revolver, but didn't have a cylinder. It was a single shot, and used a "rotating breech block" instead of a cylinder.
