Modifying your QL powder to match your chronos readings.

[MrBottleneck]

Fellas, I am at a loss on how I go about modifying my powder in QL to match the readings my new V3 gave me.
Here is a picture of a load I was shooting today.
Its QL calculation gave me a 2561 fps figure but, my V3 gave higher readings as I figured QL would be off as its an estimate anyhow.
Now, I am lost on what tabs to open in QL to modify to get the fps correct.
Any step by step help would be appreciated.
Here is my load and the next post will show my V3 data.
Thanks

Dang it shot four what happened.

MrBottleneck which program did you use to get the info that you posted. If it's a printout from QL I sure can't find it. Always looking for new ways to document all my load findings
Thanks

Not sure what program or version it is my son got it for me.
There is an option in the same area (tab) you load saved loads farther down that has the print option.
You could always hit print screen then open in paint then print I suppose.
Sorry, cannot help more I am not supe pc savvy.

I would check that same piece of brass again if it does the same thing throw it as far as you can throw it.

LOL, Those where some FF cases that had been necked sized only.
I think they are towards the end of their life. I have got quite a few rounds threw them. The S-D was only 6 till it threw the figure.
Oh well, it was only a test to see how my new V3 performed and to get velocities for adjusting QL. I was quite happy.
Try to guess which shot was number four btw, it shouldnt be too hard. Hint that lone wolf is actually in the 12 oclock position. Picture rotation is off.

Actually it is in the print function of QL. Just found it thanks for your help. QL is new to me so still messing with it.

Yea, I was trying to describe the tabs on top left you click on.
Glad you found it.

Just wondering about your reasoning for retiring this piece of brass. I'm new to reloading and having a MS(not used yet) so gaining any insight available.

I really don't want these guys to get upset I think quick load is a waste of time I go with what the brass is telling me if brass tells me something in velocity extremes I see what that brass keeps giving me then I either throw away or use it for rough sighters
