[QUOTE="kraky2, post: 75522, member: 3532"] Jimmy--don't worry at all about getting that 50 fps more. Just go for accuracy at a reasonable speed. If you have quickload you also got "quicktarget" when you bought the quickload. (at least I did). run the extra 50 fps past quicktarget and you will see it is virtually meaningless to the flight path of the bullet. If you can get 3/4 moa out to 400 yds you are set to kill reagardless of even 100 fps. Play around with some "flight paths" on quick target. Often you get get the same trajectory out of a 100 fps slower load just by raising the "midpoint" of the flight path ever so slightly. I have a 300 wby that is somewhat finicky--I could care less if my load winds up being 3200 fps or 3300 fps or 3350 fps--it's accuracy that will put the meat on the dinner table. The flight path will hardly vary for me with these speeds. I've found the quicktarget program almost as much fun to work with as quickload itself. (It also helps me calibrate my burris ballistic plex and several other custom reticle scopes for different calibers.) [/QUOTE]
