Looking for some information from those experts using the Quickload program.
Actually have several questions but one at a time. I will attempt to be specific with my question.
When entering the powder type, and grain information, after pushing the calculate button the screen will show pressures, and velocity, along with other data. In the box under that it tells you to press here for more info. That pop up box gives you other good data, it will tell you per cent of powder burn at X number of inches per barrel length.
Now for those still with me let me ask this. To my way of thinking ( which usually gets me in trouble) I would (assume) another problem area, that we would prefer to obtain complete powder burn just short of the muzzle creating more bore pressure. When researching different powders I am finding some with complete burn at 12 inches of barrel length ( obviously a faster burn rate powder ) others with high percentage of burn rate at 16/18 inches of barrel length ( obviously a slower burn rate powder.)
As always several ways to interpret this, and I am a rookie with the Quickload program. What & how do you experienced guys say about this.? Just one part of the formula , others important areas also, but a starting point.
Thanks.
