300 HAM'R Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 300 HAM'R 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.

300 HAM'R reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)57,500 psi
Nominal case capacity33.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Sierra 30 Caliber (.308) 125 gr Spitzer Pro-Hunter
Powder
Hodgdon CFE BLK
Charge
26.1 gr
Barrel
18 in

Muzzle velocity

2,308 fps

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

30,393 – 37,518 – 47,452 psi

nominal is 65% MAP (57,500 psi)

The simulator isn't optimized for this cartridge yet: there isn't enough published pressure data to check it.

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

Popular 300 HAM'R powders

Powders and bullets handloaders commonly use for the 300 HAM'R, 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 300 HAM'R 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.
