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)

nominal is 78% of the 45,000 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.
