Hello,

I seek information to settle a dispute between me and another. For the sake of brevity I am oversimplifying the question a bit.

Where may I find reputable data concerning the performance (e.g. muzzle velocity) of a "standard" .357 magnum round fired through a 2- to 3-inch barrel, as compared to the performance of a "standard" .38 special round fired through the same barrel?

Enquiring minds, and all that...
