I would expect pressures to increase much faster going up in charges weights than they would for your average 38 special load.

Again, 200gr data, it will take into account the longer/heavier bullet. Not like a WC at all. Unless he is feeding an old M10 or such, it should not be an issue, especially since all new loads should be worked up. again, OAL isn't going to come into play like to does in a 9 or 40, where the pressures are easily double & the case volume is half.
