GRTools update

[Davey Boy]

Gordon's Reloading Tools has an update if your using it. Free. Just have to register with him. Very similar to Quickload. Nice to be able to compare the two.

First I've heard of this.
To me site looked strange so I chose not go on it.
Maybe I'm too cautious, but if someone has more info I would appreciate some feedback.

You just have to register or create an account before you can download the newest version.
It's great software for the reloader and free.

GRT is very nicely done. Far better interface than quickload and more functionality. It’s been quite accurate for the cartridges I’ve tried simulating, although powder selection is hit or miss. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks guys

I don't have quickload but I stumbled on a post in Sniper's Hide about this tool. I signed up and got the down load. Took my 6x47L 115 DTAC load and plugged all of the parameters with my initial load development ladder. Said my load should be 39.3 by the Optimal Barrel Time calculation. My load is 39.2. But what was great is that it showed I had another node at 39.8 and was still nicely under the max pressure. I was afraid to go that high before getting this tool.

I think it has great promise to turn your bullet, powder, case and barrel into a system. Then you can tweek parametrs and see results without wasting precious barrel life

Unless they decide to sell this one at near the price of Quickload, I will be buying it when they go commercial and stop access to the beta versions. I actually found a couple of bugs. They let you input these into a bug data base, and they got fixed!!!

I just installed it and had viable data with 5 minutes.

It defaults to metric but can be changed to Imperial units rather easily.
