Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 45 Auto Rim 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.
| Maximum average pressure (MAP) | 1,200 BAR |
|---|---|
| Nominal case capacity | 27.4 gr H₂O |
| Groove / bullet diameter | 0.451 in (11.46 mm) |
Muzzle velocity
Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)
nominal is 57% of the 17,405 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.
