[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2027055, member: 115285"] I am having the same problem, if you have any info on the Quickload update having the correct 156 grain Berger please let me know. I am entering the correct bullet length but it appears the actual boat tail of the 156 is different than QL too, so it is messed up a bit. I called Berger tech support and got their load data for the 6.5 PRC with the 156 grain EOL using Vihtavouri N570 I won't write what they said, but they used a COAL of 2.955, mine is 3.081 with a CBTO of 2.400, I had a special Manson reamer made to that dimension. They hit it exactly using a dummy round I built. In any event I should be safe using their data as I have .126" less seating depth. The max load they gave me surprise me as it filled my ADG brass to the top. I know ADG is less capacity than Hornady but not that much. And QL predicts serious over pressure too. However, their predictions were about 100 fps higher for my test loads that I did yesterday, I stopped 2 grains short of what Berger's max is as the case was quite full one grain less, and even with my less seating depth it looked like a lot of compression. I am going to look at it closer today as the test loads worked well. [/QUOTE]
