  • Important Notice: DO NOT go below Minimum Charge or above Maximum Charge unless there are reasons.

    Questions regarding the load data: Please read the information in the next tab "Explanations".

  • Muzzle velocity vs. barrel length

    Every 1 inch additional barrel length increases muzzle velocity by approx. 34 fps

  • We recommend you limit powder range to relevant brands to speed up re-calculation of results

    Use the Personalized Load Calculator to customize loads to your own specific requirements. Find more details in the help section.

    Our default view only displays powders/loads that fulfill certain criteria: Max pressure of a load <=90% of Max. Standardized Pressure. Fill Rate (Min FR): >80% and <100% for rife loads,  >60% and <100% for pistol loads. Min. Propellant Combustion (Min z): >90% for rifle loads , >80% for pistol/revolver loads. Relax these criteria at your own risk to potentially get more powders shown in the load tables.

FR ... fill rate of the cartridge in percent

MaxP ... max. pressure of load in psi or bar

% ... max. pressure of load in percent of the maximum allowed pressure for this caliber 

V(0) ... muzzle velocity in feet per second (fps) or  meters per second (m/s)

z ... powder burnt in percent

[...] *... not dangerous but load has suboptimal powder burnt with possible characteristics such as extensive muzzle flash or inaccurate loads.

[...] ²... fill rate low - you might want to consider using a filler to ensure proper ignition.

[...] ᴾ... possible press load - work up slowly to this load while watching for signs of excessive pressure.

👍  ... recommended powder/load for this caliber and bullet combination based on its ballistic performance.
