[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3070517, member: 10755"] Initially, I ran QL side by side with the Pressure Trace, with lots and lots of tweaking burn rates and other factors I could get QL sort of close, but never matching actual results. Many results showed max pressure was no where close to QL predictions. The parameters had to be so manipulated that in the end I gave up on QL and sold it. I have to add that I do not use my Pressure Trace testing with a fudge factor, nor do I use a factory round as calibration, because factory ammo is rarely running at max pressure. Mostly, I look for a flattened plateau in pressure, this is where uniform results are found, and primer testing often alters this significantly and can turn a crapshoot into a good thing. Cheers.
