Velocities are semi-sort of-kindof-linear in a normal load work up. Generically speaking, your mileage may vary, there are exceptions, it's not perfect even when it's not an exception.

Besides which, your gun WON'T match the published velocity. Almost guaranteed. Almost, again, there are exceptions.

So, yeah, buy a chronograph.
