270 Winchester Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 270 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.

270 Winchester reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity67.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.277 in (7.04 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.277 130 gr GMX
Powder
IMR 4350
Charge
47.1 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,770 fps

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

36,784 – 46,890 – 58,560 psi

nominal is 72% of the 65,000 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.
