307 Winchester Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 307 Winchester 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.

307 Winchester reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)52,000 CUP
Nominal case capacity54.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.308 in (7.82 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.308 170 gr InterLock FP
Powder
IMR 4064
Charge
39 gr
Barrel
20 in

Muzzle velocity

2,291 fps

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

30,826 – 37,166 – 45,196 psi

MAP for this cartridge is specified as 52,000 CUP (CUP is not directly comparable to this psi estimate)

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.
