7mm Weatherby Magnum Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 7mm Weatherby Magnum 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.

7mm Weatherby Magnum reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity84.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.284 in (7.21 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.284 139 gr GMX
Powder
IMR 4831
Charge
61.1 gr
Barrel
26 in

Muzzle velocity

2,966 fps

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

38,098 – 47,156 – 57,379 psi

nominal is 73% of the 65,000 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 7mm Weatherby Magnum 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.
