  1. Calibrating (“Truing”) QuickLOAD

    I’ve documented my methodology to calibrate (“true”) QuickLOAD that gives me predicted velocities that are typically within +/- 5 fps of my measured velocities. The foundation of this method is, for a given handload (caliber, powder & charge, and bullet), to enter the obvious factors (i.e...

  2. Loading .308 with 748. Books vs Quickload

    I'm looking through my available powders for one that will safely push a Sierra 169 at 2750 fps out of a .308. Looking at my old Sierra manual (2nd ed) it shows a max load of 48.6 gn of 748 yielding a MV of 2800 fps with a 168 gn MK. Looking at a similar vintage Winchester manual and...

  3. QUICKLOAD Seating Depth

    I finally was able to buy a copy of QUICKLoad to use for an experimental bullet design I have been working on, but they don't exactly describe what they refer to as the seating depth. What exactly is the seating depth and where is it measured from? My bullet is 0.938in long including it's...

  4. 300 WSM Quickload Query

    Gday guys, would like to know how much H4340 it will take to slow a 200 grain Berger down to 2700fps? If anyone has QL or previous experience that would be great. That is the only powder that can be had at the moment. This is a single shot rifle, throated appropriately. 28 inch bbl Norma brass...

  5. Quickload and Nodes

    Here in New Zealand powder is in short supply and you have to take what you can get. I acquired Quickload to provide a shortcut to changing powders with minimum risk and fuss. However I am grappling a bit with the software/data and comments/advice in the forums. I am familiar with the concept of...

    OnTarget Software on Mac using Codeweavers Crossover

    Heading to the range tomorrow for some OBT testing and went to print targets out of OnTarget and it has apparently stopped working in Crossover v19. I am still running Mojave on my MacBook Pro ostensibly to avoid problems with Crossover. I have put a ticket in with their tech support, but was...

  7. Quickload Burn rate data for Win-WSF ?

    Anyone have good burn rate data I can plug in to quickload? I spent a few range trips getting it dialed in a few years ago and it was spot on. Thought I had my quickload data all backed up properly when my drive failed and now after replacing the drive and getting QL back up and running, my...

    Quickload, Windows 10 & Microsoft Surface Pro

    They claim there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people, so let me show just how old and dumb I am... We’re a Mac household (and I’m not particularly excited about running a Windows emulator). I am using Quickload on one of my son’s old gaming computers in the basement...

  9. Would this work as a good way for load developement

    I have access to 7-8 different powders to use for a .223. Would selecting a safe mid range velocity of say 2875 fps using a 50 grn. bullet of my choosing, letting Quickload pick the powders and load weights for the 7 powders, based on vel. and pressure then shooting 5 shots of each powder load...

    Fill Ratio Formula

    I trust the smart people that I’ve been reading who say fill ratio is important for accuracy. A few reloading manuals include fill ratio for the max load, but most I have looked at do not. I searched the forum looking for a fill ratio formula but I couldn’t find anything. It would be even...

  13. Quickload vs VV N150 w/ Berger 200.20x

    I am having a hard time matching QL's parameters for VV N150 with my measured velocities and others experience. Attached is a summary of QL for the setup I tested (I am using the demo verison with manual changes to match the VV N150 and Berger 200.20x bullet - have verified from other sources...

    I need QuickLoad help quickly

    Ok, I know this is a weird tale, but I need someone to run a quickload sheet for me so that I have an idea of the pressures I'm playing with. QL is on my desktop at home and I need someone to help me out. I started load development on this barrel on January 12th. QL told me that I needed 2,980...

  15. Need clarification regarding Z1 P1 in Quickload

    I'm struggling to understand what everyone is talking about in regards to Z1 and P1(Pmax) lining up properly. And from what many are saying is when they line up it's a good accurate load. I took a screenshot of QL showing a good load for my .308. The only place I see them lining up is where...

  16. Half nodes?

    So... been using QuickLoad / OCW / OBT off and on, in one form or another, for a number of years. For a lot of cartridge / bullet / powder combinations, it's worked just ducky. More recently, though, I've been kind of scratching my head trying to figure why a particular bullet / powder /...

  17. QuickLoad ADI2209 vs H4350

    For all you quickload users out there... I believe Hodgdon Varget *IS* ADI 2208 and looking at the powder data in Quickload that seems to be confirmed because the powder data comes up the same. Given that... I thought H4350 WAS just ADI 2209 in a new pretty package. Am I wrong? If I am...

    260 Rem AI and QuickLoad

    Hi Guys, I'm getting my stuff together to build a 260 AI. I finally got my hands on a fire formed case and wanted to start loading info into QuickLoad and much to my surprise the 260 AI is not among the case choices. This is uncharted waters for me. What do I do now? Can anyone offer any help...
