30 Remington AR Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 30 Remington AR 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 Remington AR reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)55,000 psi
Nominal case capacity44.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.308 130 gr SP
Powder
Alliant RL-10X
Charge
30.7 gr
Barrel
22 in

Muzzle velocity

2,392 fps

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

24,506 – 30,835 – 37,955 psi

nominal is 56% of the 55,000 psi maximum average pressure

Pressure for this powder is extrapolated from a velocity-only fit — the pressure figures carry extra uncertainty in both directions.

Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.

Use MyLoads as a 30 Remington AR 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.
