300 PRC Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 300 PRC 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.

300 PRC reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity98.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.308 212 gr ELD-X
Powder
Hodgdon H1000
Charge
76.8 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,587 fps

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

40,421 – 49,610 – 59,928 psi

nominal is 76% 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 300 PRC 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.
