[QUOTE="asd9055, post: 2450047, member: 73445"] Great discussion. I always learn something. First, I am a casual user of QuickLoad and I am trying to Learn GRT. Each one has its good points. QL has not had any software changes in over a decade. The last one was to make it run better in Windows. The updates we get are for data (Bullet, powders). Reading about calibrating on various sites, this is what I gathered, and I am open to learn more: 1. Enter Actual data (Bullet, case, capacities, etc.) 2. Weighing factor for the most part is close. If you want you can caclulate WF=500/(casevolumeto BoreArea Ratio) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/overbore-cartridges-defined-by-formula/[/URL] 3. I always adjust my Tremperature to the actual when shooting. 4. Shot Start (Initiation) Pressure. Unfortunately here we have starting point suggestions for various bullet types, but it is not tied to the bullet selection. We have to update manually. (Learned this today) 5. Burn Rate (Ba). Adjust this to match MV. Open to comments, suggestions for more or corrections. [/QUOTE]
