QL data for some powders

[Fast14riot]

I'm playing around with GRTools software which is similar to QuickLoad, but free, and it has a very limited powder chart. I was hoping someone would be able to either snap some screen shots of the powders I'd like to add for average values (I will tweak with lot specific values later) or list the various values like Qex, Z1, Z2, etc.

H335
H4831sc
RL23
Varget

Those powders will cover everything i need right now.

Much appreciated.

Awesome, thank you Z3 and Jackal!

Fast14riot,
I just downloaded the Windows version of the GRtools program a day or two ago. The powder database has been really expanded since your initial post. Check it out if you haven't looked recently. Also, you can check a box in the program that will have it check for updates automatically. The version that I downloaded has a built in module that allows recalculating charges to match velocites associated with OBT nodes in half and full node values.

Just be aware for NA powders/cartridges it may not be as tested. I've run into many loads that are outright wrong (off by more than 10k PSI vs. pressure test barrel w/ a known cartridge/powder charge, velocity way off, etc) without a good amount of tweaking, which gets them in the ballpark compared to manufacturer pressure testing and empirical data from self-testing. It's great when you get it tuned, but I've had to tune just about all the loads I've tried to get it to 'true up' with reality. Unfortunately, it's been off by a good margin. I assume once the database has more results submitted the data will get better and the predictions will be more accurate. They have a discord server you can chat on, and the developer is very responsive and helpful. It's just not currently working for me for new cartridge/pick components type hypothetical spitballing.

I highly encourage supporting it and the devs with data, just be aware of this before you rely on it for load data that you can't verify with a few reloading books as being sane.

My jug of varget has been over the chrono matching perfectly the QL prediction.
But my jug of H4350 always acts like I put 4% less powder in the case. That jug did not get the QL memo.
