[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 411986, member: 19372"] After using it for going on 4 years I have to say QuickLoad is pretty much in a class by itself. I don't know of any other program that has all the functionality and flexability of QuickLoad. It will allow you to analyze almost anthing you can concieve of, though it will tell you if you are doing some silly things like using a .22 bullet in 6mm brass, for example. With regard to flexability, about the only thing that can't be practically added to the database is powder. New bullets, different brass, new cartridges, can be added. To design a whole new cartridge it is easier with QuickDesign, but brass dimensions can be altered in the basic QuickLoad program. It will, among other things, do a sweep of every powder in it's database and list the results for the cartridge of interest in order of descending muzzle velocity - a very powerful feature. One can save and compare two different loads. In addition to which it comes with two very capable external ballistics programs. The manual that comes with it (PDF file on disc) is excellent. If you are looking for a nearly universal load development tool, QuickLoad is pretty much it. That said, always back off from max loads and work up. Highly recommended to work with a chronograph to be sure there isn't a disconnect between what is supposedly entered in the program and the real world.. There is an excellent review of QuickLoad on 6mmBR.com Fitch [/QUOTE]
