[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1622473, member: 31264"] It has been said here that Quickload cannot accommodate custom cartridges and long throats. That isn't totally true. Custom cartridges can be handled in two ways. You can enter custom water capacities for any cartridge. This parameter should always be measured for any cartridge if for no other reason than to account for different brass manufacturers. But it will also look after at least 90% (my rough guess) of the DIFFERENCE in any custom chamber/cartridge from its corresponding parent cartridge too. Secondly, the cartridge database can be modified to create and add your own custom cartridges. Custom throats are handled differently. Quickload doesn't depend on throat dimensions. Instead, it relies on overall length, bore and rifling dimensions, and bullet dimensions, to calculate the change in charge volume, as well as a parameter that takes into account how close a load is to the lands and how that changes initial pressures. As long as the user understands these parameters, and also calibrates quickload to the corresponding measured velocity, quickload does a relatively good job of handling custom cartridges. [/QUOTE]
