QuickLoad Custom Cast bullets

[rockydoc]

The bullet files in my version of QL(3.9.14) do not have some of the cast bullets I use most often. How do I create a custom bullet file. The Accurate clone of the Saeco #315 (31-175B) is the bullet I am interest in now.

Thanks,

If you want to clone a very similar bullet to one already in the database, just tweak whatever might be different (weight, length, etc.) and Save As...

If you can't find a similar bullet already in the database, you can build a bullet profile from scratch by going into the menu Data: Add, Load, Change, Save -> Projectile / Bullet Data and that will bring up the dialog below in which you can input the information. There's also a permanent shortcut icon up in the main menu for bringing up that dialog.

Be mindful that all-lead bullets will typically have a lower Shot Start Pressure than the ~3600 psi seen for typical lead-core copper bullets. You'll want to tweak that, too.

Page 49 in the user manual describes it all.

Not exactly what you’re asking, but might be of interest. NOE has almost all of their bullet dimensions in a downloadable file for Quickload. Wouldn’t surprise me to find their version of the same Saeco bullet.

Either way, a good resource.
