30 Nosler Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

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 recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

30 Nosler reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity89.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Barnes .308 168 gr TTSX BT
Powder
Accurate MagPro
Charge
77.7 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,845 fps

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

37,599 – 50,243 – 64,058 psi

nominal is 77% 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 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.
