32 Automatic Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 32 Automatic 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.

32 Automatic reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)20,500 psi
Nominal case capacity9.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.312 in (7.92 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.311 60 gr XTP
Powder
IMR Hi-Skor 700-X
Charge
1.8 gr
Barrel
4 in

Muzzle velocity

821 fps

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

8,777 – 9,511 – 10,268 psi

nominal is 46% of the 20,500 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
