348 Winchester Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 348 Winchester 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.

348 Winchester reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)45,000 psi
Nominal case capacity62.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.348 in (8.84 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.348 200 gr FTX
Powder
IMR 3031
Charge
42.6 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,276 fps

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

29,691 – 35,286 – 41,459 psi

nominal is 78% of the 45,000 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 348 Winchester 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.
