Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 30 Nosler with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended load. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.
| Maximum average pressure (MAP) | 65,000 psi |
|---|---|
| Nominal case capacity | 89.0 gr H₂O |
| Groove / bullet diameter | 0.308 in (7.82 mm) |
Muzzle velocity
Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn rate)
nominal is 79% MAP (65,000 psi)
The simulator isn't optimized for this cartridge yet and may read pressure high or low.
Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.
Powders and bullets handloaders commonly use for the 30 Nosler, drawn from public discussion and listed most common first. They appear as the Popular group in the calculator's pickers. This is not a load recommendation — always check your load against a current published manual.
Use MyLoads as a 30 Nosler 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.
