[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 205244, member: 12"] Just how accurate is Quickload? Lately it is being thrown out here as the all knowing infallible answer. Unless manually manipulated, it does all of its calculation with standard factory barrel, factory chamber for which gun and reamer we do not know, assumed H2O capacity etc and "assumed" mag OAL only for seating depth. changing the seating depth by .100 out on quickload drops 4k pressure for the WSM. Changing primers based on actual pressure tests can raise or lower pressure over 3k. so when someone jumps up and says quickload says this or that, just exactly how did they get there. It is only based on the parameters that qucikload used to get their initial data and nothing else. Same as a reloading manual, at least they list exactly what load, primer and oal they used to get their data. That is exactly why they also caution you anytime you change any one of the above, drop 10% and start over. BH [/QUOTE]
