[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1310328, member: 53101"] I worked up loads for my 30-06 using quickload and Reloader 17. I put in seating depth, fired case capacity, .... and what I found was that QuickLoad was off by ~ 3gr of powder compared to velocity when fired over 2 chronographs. (pretty **** dangerous when loading up a 208gr bullet) I no longer trust QuickLoad at all, especially with Reloader 17. If you have to adjust the burn rate of powders to get it to match your velocities, how can you trust the chamber pressures it spits out? I am new to Reloading but learned quick to use multiple sources, start low, and verify velocity. I worked up a lot of loads with QL to ladder test this spring, but ended up pulling the bullets on half the rounds because QL was so far off. [/QUOTE]
