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 load. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

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.
