[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1998591, member: 10755"] If this is aimed at me, then you are very mistaken. For it’s purpose of finding a safe START LOAD, I got it to work as intended, it even helped getting my wildcats up and running with suitable powders for which there is NO DATA ANYWHERE FOR. My 338-416 Rigby Improved is a perfect example. No data exists, BUT, using QL for it also had issues because no amount of tweaking would match the ACTUAL velocity the rifle was getting. When I got the Pressure Trace, even with QL predicted pressure, it was no where near max. It was running 10,000-15,000psi under max even though QL said most loads were at or above max. All parameter inputs were to the tenth decimal, so no mistakes could be made. Volume was measured in tenths of CC’s, grains of water and grains of kerosene, no output matched the real world. So, yes, I know how to use QL, it just isn’t accurate enough for me, you can believe it’s output, but I would bet that the real world outcome would be far different if ACTUALLY tested. Also, I have no intention of discouraging it’s use for getting start loads and working up, but when people start quoting what QL says against a published load from a manual and stating that compressed loads are dangerous, then I am going to react because it is FALSE INFORMATION.
