quick load request

[Rich Coyle]

Anyone with quick load out there who could help me with a load for a 6.5 that hold 109 grains of water. I want to fire a 160 bullet. What other info do you need?

To truly calibrate Quickload you need a chronograph and then change the burn rate in Quickload until the two velocities match. This is on top of the case capacity, OAL etc. so without a chronograph Quickload output are only computer generated guesstimates.

Maybe I didn't ask the correct question. I though someone could get a starting load with quick load. I need a starting point. I have a chronograph but that does me no good without a starting load. I will be using US869 and Federal 215 Magnum primers.

The reloading manuals and online data like Hodgdon's will give you starting loads.
So again Quickload data that is not adjusted or trued with a chronograph can be very far off.

How 'bout a starting or mid-range load with the above data?
