[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 2439525, member: 97649"] thx for the tip on Quickload. I'm remembering back in Engineering school, they made us work out the algorithms to make sure we understood the concepts, and only then they'd tell us about the books with charts showing the needed data, without having to work things out mathematically. I'll probably go ahead and pick up Quickload, but it's the theory that I'm hoping to learn more about - Quickload may know all about it, but I'd like to understand the interplay between burn rate, barrel length and bullet mass too. And then, like back in school, I'll let Quickload do the thinking for me. By the way, one of the justifications for Professors making us understand the theory and mathematics was so that, when we started using the shortcut via the charts, we'd be more able to apply an internal "sanity test" on the results the charts gave. There's a lot of value in having a sense of when results don't make sense when you're designing a bridge or an airplane, and maybe even more when you're dealing with things that can blow up in my face.
