[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1293545, member: 22069"] +1000!!!!!!!!! THIS is why I just keep scrolling when I see QL requests. Too many people seem to think that QL is this magic program that allows you to skip steps and abandon careful load development. These are the same folks who pop up asking everyone else for their pet loads. QL is a powerful tool, when used properly. I LOVE QL!!! But, it has limitations. Even at its best, it is still just a model that MUST be validated with real world results. So many people seem to believe it is this program that spits out load data that can be used in the same way as a published Reloading Manual. Published data has been TESTED. With QL data, YOU have to do the testing. I don't mind using QL in collaboration when I am working with someone who I know is competent. In general though, my feelings about QL mirror my feelings about reloading manuals and the need for careful load development: BUY YOUR OWN BOOKS AND DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! I am happy to compare notes with someone doing the work, or to assist in choosing a good place to start. [/QUOTE]
