[QUOTE="Dancin' Crosshairs, post: 411979, member: 26069"] I am running 5.0. Certain application updates can be had on-line, and there are sometimes updates to the powder and bullet databases. There are earlier application versions that cannot be upgraded to 5.0, so if you go to purchase the software make sure you're getting the latest version. Re-17 is not in the database as far as I can tell, and I wouldn't even guess as to when it might be added. I guess I could explain the powder selection limitation a little better...take the .280 Remington, for instance. I happen to know that Re22 will work great in this cartridge as long as temperatures variations are very limited, yet the software does not offer a Re22 charge (for .280 Remington). The slowest burning powder that comes up as a selection is H4831. I emailed the developer, Wayne Blackwell, and asked him about this some years ago and although I do not recall exactly what the response was, it sounded as though I would never see Re22 come up as a powder choice for the .280 Remington (but I have decided that H4831 is the ultimate powder in the .280 anyway, due to Re22's considerable temperature sensitivity). Re22 is in the database and will come up for other cartridges, though. [/QUOTE]
