416 Ruger Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 416 Ruger 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.

416 Ruger reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)62,000 psi
Nominal case capacity105.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.416 in (10.57 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet

Powder
Alliant Power Pro 2000 MR
Charge
69.3 gr
Barrel
20 in

Muzzle velocity

2,001 fps

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

35,009 – 42,655 – 50,337 psi

nominal is 69% of the 62,000 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.
