The more I think about this, the more I like it, just not for the calibers he's using it for.
He also makes a 9mm version:

However, where this would really shine is the big cases that aren't used to capacity.
.44 Special, .44 Magnum, maybe the .357 Magnum.
The most I can shoot out of a scandium revolver is 125 grains at 1204 fps, or 147 at 1131 fps. I suspect you could up the bullets weight to 180 grains, and send two 90 grain full wadcutters at the target, at 1300 fps, out of a full sized gun.
Don't know what they would run out of a snubby, but a full charge of 4227 or H110 would also light the badguy up at point blank range out of a snub;-). The wound channel would be substantial due to the velocity and the full caliber meplat.
You would effectively double your ammunition capacity in your 5 shot, while giving up
a bit of bullet weight for dual projectiles.
Thoughts?
