17 Remington Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 17 Remington with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended load. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

3,934 fps

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

42,298 – 51,194 – 60,931 psi

nominal is 83% MAP (61,641 psi)

Pressure for this powder is extrapolated from a velocity-only fit — the pressure figures carry extra uncertainty in both directions.

The simulator isn't optimized for this cartridge yet and may read pressure high or low.

Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.
