30-30 Winchester Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 30-30 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.

30-30 Winchester reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)42,000 psi
Nominal case capacity45.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,129 fps

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

nominal is 83% of the 42,000 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.
