458 SOCOM Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 458 SOCOM 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.

458 SOCOM reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)2,400 BAR
Nominal case capacity61.1 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.458 in (11.63 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.458 350 gr InterLock RN
Powder
Accurate Lt-32
Charge
37.7 gr
Barrel
16 in

Muzzle velocity

1,533 fps

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

20,372 – 26,621 – 33,894 psi

nominal is 76% of the 34,809 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.
