That depends on make and model. A typical "snub nosed" compact .357 Magnum revolver would hold five rounds, whereas a full sized revolver will usually hold six. The Desert Eagle .357 Magnum has a standard magazine capacity of nine rounds.

How do you calculate caliber?
"caliber" as used in the firearms world can either mean just the bullet diameter, or the inside measure of bore diameter, expressed as a decimal fraction of an inch. And "caliber" can also mean the complete name of a specific cartridge, which might be quite different from some other one using the same caliber bullets. Examples: The caliber ".357 magnum" uses .357" (or 357/1000 inch) bullets. The caliber ".308 Winchester" uses .308" bullets. But the caliber ".30-06 Springfield" ALSO uses those same .308 bullets. But it's a different "caliber" because it's not the same cartridge. The .30-06 has a much longer case that holds more gunpowder.
