[QUOTE="Tripodmvr7, post: 1984380, member: 115545"] I can try and help with Quick Load. Give me the following :- 1. Propellant and proposed charge 2. Bullet to be used 3. Barrel measured from muzzle to cocked bolt - cleaning rod works great - mm or inches. 4. Case capacity measured with water - weigh empty case and then fill with water to level with case mouth. Weight in grains and do about five to get average. 5. Planned COL and jump to the lands - with cup and core I suggest 1mm = 0.04inch. This ensures that the cartridge will chamber. With that COL will there be 0,8x.257 of the bullet touching the case neck and the third proviso is will it fit in the magazine. Give me that info and I will propose a load. That needs to be shot over a chrony (5m from muzzle if normal light chrony). Speed and charge can then be used to calculate a node speed. That will mean another visit to the range to verify the new charge and speed. [/QUOTE]
