[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2247328, member: 9551"] I find Quickload is better than a lot more useful than factory data. Hodgdon .223 Remington data shows pressures, like Quickload, which is great, but their data for 53 gr bullets show a maximum of 26.0 gr of Benchmark (48,900 CUP) producing 2932fps while max with the slower burning IMR-8208 is 25.4gr at 53,400 PSI and only 2789 fps. I found similar errors with .223 Remington data on Nosler's page. Since I like "wildcats" (.20 PPC, .20 BR, .22 BR, .22 Dasher, .224 Nisqually, .22-25 Ackley, 6mm- 30-40 Krag, 6.5 WSM, 6.5-06 Ackley) Quickload saves a lot of powder that would be blown out the end of the barrel and not generate enough pressure and velocity to be useful. With "obsolete" cartridges like .222 Remington Magnum with only old powders published, Quickload is a big help. Where else can I learn that Alliant AR-Comp would be great with 55gr Bergers in the .222 Rem Mag? In the .35 Whelen, I found with Quickload that IMR-8208 was more than 100fps better than VV N-540? It proved true and IMR-8208 is fabulous in that "obsolete" cartridge. [/QUOTE]
