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 recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

9.3x62 reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)57,500 psi
Nominal case capacity76.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.365 in (9.28 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Hornady 0.366 250 gr GMX
Powder
Alliant RL-15
Charge
49.8 gr
Barrel
23.5 in

Muzzle velocity

2,247 fps

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

27,667 – 37,188 – 48,531 psi

nominal is 65% of the 57,500 psi maximum average pressure

Pressure for this powder is extrapolated from a velocity-only fit — the pressure figures carry extra uncertainty in both directions.

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

Use MyLoads as a 9.3x62 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.
