[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2198850, member: 71221"] I understand that I can’t use convention QL info. I’m just trying to get a reasonable starting point. But case capacity is case capacity. That’s the main data point I’m looking at in QL. For example if I use the methodology #1 that DougDuey posted above all of the fastest powders listed on Hodgdon’s site have me over 110% case capacity, except BL-C(2). I have created a bullet profile in QL with the 162AH so I would know where I sat in relation to case capacity. You had responded previously to use RL10x or 8208XBR as a starting point, but if I plug in 100% case capacity of RL10x with the 162 AH, the pressure number is calculating 74,000+ (I know it’s not accurate) and that just freaks me out to consider loading something that looks to be 12k psi over SAAMI max pressure. I suppose I could load down to QL max and go up from there in a ladder? I’m willing to listen to you guys that have experience; being a numbers guy just makes it difficult for me though. 😉 [/QUOTE]
