Do you guys that have the quick load program find it worth having? I am thinking of buying it but not sure how much I would use it.
Pros and conns please.
Thanks!
Jeff

Have had it for a long time and wouldn't be without it. Having said that, just remember that it's a computer program and all info should be taken with the standard warnings about loading and testing rounds.
It's great for "what if" questions about different bullets, powders etc.
Like most programs it has a lot of little quirks that you learn as you go and the more accurate the input the more accurate the output

I'll second that thought.

Dick is right on.
I've been using it for about 3 years and frankly I'd be lost with out it. It's a marvelous tool. At the range day before yesterday I was measuring velocities within 29 fps max different from what QuickLoad predicted. Very often QuickLoad is a more accurate source of MV information than the bullet factory loading manuals.
That said, it is a "simulation", a computer model of a process that has a lot of unknowns. In the users manual, which is excellent, there is a really good discussion of it's limitations. There is a good review of it here:
QuickLOAD Review & User's Guide
Highly recommended.

I've been using it for 2 years and like others have said I wouldn't be without it. I really like the fact that it can be customized to your rifle.
