[QUOTE="steve smith, post: 281258, member: 110"] Just purchased QuickLoad! I'm a little curious as to how much you guys are having to fudge the burn rate factor and bullet weight, to get Quickload to match your emperical data. Using all the cartridge dimensions, I'm able to get everything to match up by adjusting the burn rate factor, but the velocity will be off quite a bit when I reduce the charge wt. I've tried decreasing and increasing the bullet wt. a few grains to see if it would help, but I just can't seem to get the velocity to match up for two different charge wts. Also, what initiation pressure are you using, and for what situation (bullet seated .010" into lands, right at, or sitting out some distance). [/QUOTE]
