[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1300721, member: 28965"] There is no way a software program can give "accurate" information with all the variations in firearms and reloading components. And Quickload "MUST" be tweaked and adjusted after you input corrected data. I have Quickload and I do not give its output to anyone because there is too much to be adjusted to even get a "ball park" guesstimate. Just do a workup load the old fashioned way starting at the suggested start load and work up. This way you will learn about your rifle and the components used for that load. Quickload is not a miracle software program and to get reasonably accurate pressure and velocity data you need a chronograph and adjust Quickload to match the chronograph. Simply put you can't enter the powder charge from a reloading manual and get the same velocity and chamber pressure range. "After" I bought Quickload I had to buy a chronograph to tweak and adjust Quickload to get the "approximate" chamber pressure and velocities. Now look below at the Rockwell hardness of .223 cases, the "softer" cases will show pressure signs before the harder brass. The same goes for primers with different thickness and hardness.
