30 Carbine Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 30 Carbine 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 Carbine reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)40,000 psi
Nominal case capacity21.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.309 90 gr XTP
Powder
Hodgdon H110
Charge
11.6 gr
Barrel
17.5 in

Muzzle velocity

1,741 fps

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

16,577 – 22,374 – 29,944 psi

nominal is 56% of the 40,000 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 30 Carbine 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.
