[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 285783, member: 4885"] Sure, there are all kind of little tricks. But it's gonna cost you to find out :D I'm sure you know the following 'ease of use tricks', but I'll list them just in case. 1) copy powders file to a file named AccessiblePowders. Then edit that file with a text editor to remove all the powders you would never use/ could never find. Then select that file, so all your output is limited to just those powders you would be interested in. Also, create another file that contains only the powders you have on YOUR shelf (call this one "On-The-Shelf" or something similar). 2) Make a bullet file for each bullet diameter. 3) Make a Cartridges file that only contains your rifles (customize the water capacities etc. for the brass YOU use). 4) You can edit your new Cartridges file (created in #3 above) to add wildcat cartridges. Just use a text editor and fool around with the entries. You can start with a standard cartridge by creating the entry by saving it from the Quickload user interface, then edit it. For example, open the .308 Win in the normal cartridges file, then switch to your file and save the cartridge (selecting "data: Add, Change, Load, Save"->"Case/Caliber"->"Change Data in Active File"). Then edit the entry in your text editor (ie. change the name, H2O capacity, groove diameter etc etc). I do this for each of my cartridges/case lots, so I don't have to repeatedly edit the overall length, H2O capacity etc. 5) [/QUOTE]
