[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 548038, member: 19372"] After using it for several years, reloading with out QuickLoad would be like shooting with my eyes shut. Used properly, it can provide a lot of insight into what will work, what doesn't work, and more importantly, why that might be. That said, it's a numerical simulation program based on assumptions about the process it's modeling. I have 35 years of experience as an engineer in Aerospace using numerical simulations as a guide to understanding physical systems and environments. I've learned that while simulations are seldom if ever exact, exact is not required for them to be very very useful. Reloading and testing in a rifle isn't exact either or all the bullets would go into one caliber sized hole. My QuickLoad models frequently come closer to predicting muzzle velocity than the reloading manuals, much closer in fact. Used with care, QuickLoad can predict MV +/- 2%, and sometimes within a hundred fps, a surprisingly often. Fitch [/QUOTE]
