225 Winchester Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 225 Winchester 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.

225 Winchester reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)3,900 BAR
Nominal case capacity41.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.224 in (5.68 mm)

Powder
IMR 3031
Charge
28.5 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

3,301 fps

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

39,016 – 47,181 – 56,352 psi

nominal is 83% of the 56,565 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.
