9.3x62 Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 9.3x62 with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended load. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

nominal is 81% MAP (57,500 psi)

The simulator isn't optimized for this cartridge yet and may read pressure high and velocity high.

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

Popular 9.3x62 powders

Powders and bullets handloaders commonly use for the 9.3x62, drawn from public discussion and listed most common first. They appear as the Popular group in the calculator's pickers. This is not a load recommendation — always check your load against a current published manual.
