Bullet Load Calculator

This app estimates the powder charge needed to get a specific muzzle velocity.

This is a simple calculator for bullet reloading. Type in the muzzle velocity that you want to get, and the Bullet Load Calculator will estimate the amount of powder charge that you need to load. All you have to do is enter a few pieces of information about the specifications of your bullet/powder/firearm combination.

Input:

Desired Muzzle Velocity

Bullet Weight

Minimum Load Specs: Powder Charge and Muzzle Velocity

Maximum Load Specs: Powder Charge and Muzzle Velocity

The calculator finds:

Suggested Load Amount

Muzzle Energy

It also provides rough estimates for:

The Total Energy from the Powder

The Energy Lost (due to heat, friction, etc.)

The Energy Density of the Powder

The Energy Efficiency
