7mm WSM Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 7mm WSM 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 WSM reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)65,000 psi
Nominal case capacity81.0 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.284 in (7.21 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.284 139 gr GMX
Powder
IMR 4831
Charge
59.8 gr
Barrel
24 in

Muzzle velocity

2,902 fps

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

37,688 – 46,765 – 57,029 psi

nominal is 72% of the 65,000 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.
