404 Jeffery Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 404 Jeffery 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.

404 Jeffery reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)3,650 BAR
Nominal case capacity113.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.424 in (10.77 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

nominal is 74% of the 52,939 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.
