They are still refusing financial help saying the issues are not money related. I use it specifically because it runs fine on Linux, everyone runs Linux in our home, even my wife. We're not exactly Windoz fans in this house or anything MS for that matter.
They will reopen the patreon page once it is released and they will be taking donations there. That is the last word I received.
Thanks for the update!
Where did you find that? I checked grt-status-announcement and nothing new since 9/2023. Maybe it's an internal posting for those working on it?
Cool, yeah I likely just asked on a bad day.
I've just started trying to use it. I got it to download and it showes the graph and data for 6.5 Creedmoor with 120 grain bullet and N540 powder. I can change the cartridge but it won't let me change the bullet or powder on the graph page. I did change it on the top bar and it gave me line item printouts which was useful. I'm trying to work up load data for 6x45. It gas the option for 6x45AI but not just 6x45. It also didn't list the powder I wanted to run.
Registration is no longer required. The discord will get you answers quickly.
I would suggest watching the various videos on basic usage and also to check the same folder on their Discord channel. That will at least show you how to interact with each menu and proper starting input as it's very much garbage in / garbage out. Discord channel has a how to section.
6x45 cartridge file is on the GRT shared google drive under calibers. You would need to download it and then import to the User Database. If you read through the discord posts, you'll see how it's done.
Ok, thanks, that's a little more complicated than anything I've done before. I'm an old guy! Lol, I am getting data off of it. I select the cartridge and the bullet weight and then select propellant from the tool bar and it prints out a bunch of data. Then I look for good case fill, burn rates and low pressure.
I've been watching the videos but some of that is over my head. I just have to keep watching them over and over till it sinks in. I am getting usable data off of it though. I really like the case fill and burn rate. I like the idea of having a 100% burn, I don't like wasting stuff. Thanks for your help.
I'm not too young myself and watched all I could over the winter and played with the application. Over time it started to sink in. I find entering your case length, your COL are critical to getting realistic results. I then adjust powder charge of the powder I want to use to check velocity, load ratio (I like >= 95%), and burnt propellant (I like 100%). When I have a load that I think I'd like to try, I right click its tab and select create copy so my case parameters and bullet data stays the same and select a new powder to try.
Oh, I finally got the main graph working, there were boxes I wasn't checking. Lol, for now I'm just staying with cartridges already in the system. I'll try the others when I get more familiar. I've only been at it for a short time. Thanks for your help. Gordon was a brilliant man!!!
DO NOT use the information as it comes in the software. Measure everything that is measurable, such as bullet length, water capacity of a FIRED case, etc. Every detail matters. Also, use a chronograph to measure speed and then calibrate the powder model using the OBT tool to get accurate results.
Does anybody know why H380 isn't in the system? Or if the name has changed. I have a pound of it I would like to run. My manuals say it's good for 7mm08, 260, 243, 22-250, etc. But I can't find it in GRT.
