[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1293601, member: 22069"] Yes, QL comes on CD/DVD. Updates and patches are far less expensive than the initial software. I recently purchased an update disk for mine and total cost was around $20. It is a misconception to think of QL as only useful for wildcats. Published load data is essentially based on an "average of averages" approach. It will get you in the ballpark, but that's about it. Understand also, that published data is only reliable if you use the listed components and dimensions. For instance, loading to a different OAL, which most of us do, can have a significant effect on case capacity and dramatically change how a combination of components will behave. Another important advantage with QL is the ability to model behavior of different powder and bullet combinations for which there is no published data. That capability is useful in improving the performace of some cartridges and in selecting components. Being able to model different component combinations can also be helpful in finding suitable substitutes during component shortages. Until you actually use it, along with a good chronograph, it is difficult to truly grasp how useful it actually is. QL has dramatically changed my understanding of handloading. Using it has been an eye-opening experience. [/QUOTE]
