32 S&W Long Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 32 S&W Long 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 S&W Long reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)1,000 BAR

nominal is 84% of the 14,504 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.
