22 Nosler Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 22 Nosler 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.

22 Nosler reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)55,000 psi
Nominal case capacity34.2 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.224 in (5.69 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.224 75 gr BTHP Match
Powder
IMR 8208 Xbr
Charge
24.1 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,725 fps

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

36,284 – 43,967 – 52,537 psi

nominal is 80% of the 55,000 psi maximum average pressure

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

Use MyLoads as a 22 Nosler velocity and pressure calculator: it estimates muzzle velocity, muzzle energy and the full chamber-pressure curve for your own powder, charge and barrel length, compared against the reference facts above.
