10mm Automatic Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 10mm Automatic with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

10mm Automatic reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)37,500 psi
Nominal case capacity24.2 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.400 in (10.16 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.400 155 gr XTP
Powder
IMR 800-X
Charge
8.1 gr
Barrel
5 in

Muzzle velocity

1,147 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

23,414 – 27,463 – 31,649 psi

nominal is 73% of the 37,500 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
