Fisher. Say you have data for a .357 Max in a manual, worked up with a 10 inch barrel, and yours is a 14 inch barrel. You win. Your velocity will be higher ( at least it should be) than what was attained in the shorter barrel. How much higher will have to be determined by using a chronograph.
If you don't have a chronograph, Shooting Chrony has new ones starting at about $89.00 and repaired trade-ins for, if I remember right, about $65.00. Go to (www.shootingchrony.com) and check them out. I just bought a new one (the Master Chrony) and am sending my old one back for repair. It argued with a .44 Spl. and lost. It was the non-upgradeble F-1 model that first came out a few years back. Current F-1's are upgradeble.
Hope this clears things up for you. If that URL isn't right, E-mail me and I'll send you a correction. Put in down from memory.
