6.5-284 Norma Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 6.5-284 Norma 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.

6.5-284 Norma reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)58,000 psi
Nominal case capacity66.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.264 in (6.71 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Sierra 6.5mm 264 Caliber (.264) 123 gr HPBT-CN MatchKing
Powder
Accurate MagPro
Charge
55.4 gr
Barrel
26 in

Muzzle velocity

2,789 fps

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

34,115 – 45,273 – 57,367 psi

nominal is 78% of the 58,000 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure is an estimate; always confirm your load against a current published manual before loading.

Use MyLoads as a 6.5-284 Norma velocity and pressure calculator: it estimates muzzle velocity, muzzle energy and the full chamber-pressure curve for your own powder, charge and barrel length, compared against the reference facts above.
