25 WSSM Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 25 WSSM 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.

25 WSSM reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity53.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.257 in (6.53 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.257 120 gr InterLock HP
Powder
IMR 4350
Charge
42 gr
Barrel
22 in

Muzzle velocity

2,711 fps

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

38,067 – 48,002 – 59,382 psi

nominal is 74% of the 65,000 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 25 WSSM 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.
