357 SIG Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 357 SIG 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.

357 SIG reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)40,000 psi
Nominal case capacity17.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.355 in (9.02 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.355 115 gr HAP
Powder
Alliant Power Pistol
Charge
6.9 gr
Barrel
4 in

Muzzle velocity

1,255 fps

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

21,781 – 28,154 – 35,338 psi

nominal is 70% of the 40,000 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.
