Not sure what 'quickloads' are, but here is some info:

quickloads is a computer program that will approximate load pressures for a given cartridge and load and will also calculate approximate velocity for a given load in a given barrel. I have been to 6mmar.com many time but thanks for the link!

QuickLoad is NOT a shortcut to MAX load. Due to variations in powder lots, different primers, and the barrels themselves, QL has to be "calibrated" to your rifle, powder lot, primers, etc. The best way to do this is the shoot two different but safe loads, then calibrate QL to track.

I understand that its not used to just jump to max load. What I am really looking for is, what velocity is achievable with Varget, 95gr SMK, and a 20 in barrel?
