I bought the Quick Load software and it arrived while I was OCONUS.
Not sure why I never got around to buying it before now as it is fairly inexpensive and opens up a whole new world of loading options and analysis.
I am now seeing my powder choices were at times sub optimal for the bullets I was shooting. The software allows you to select powders based on 100% case fill and velocity, while narrowing your choices by the percentage of powder burned.
I'm not going to run out and buy a bunch of new powders to get the absolute highest velocity, but it allows me to choose the best option of the powders I have in stock for the projectiles I am shooting.
One of the keys to getting accurate results is to weigh the H2O capacity of fired cases, which I have done for a lot of the brass I have on hand. Pretty amazing the differences between headstamps and the effect on pressures.
Interesting observations based on using ONLY the software, not shooting.
IMR4895 - Hard to beat for most any 762 bullet weights
IMR4895 - Also a decent option for 6.5Creedmoor
CFE223 - A great option for 175gr Matchking bullets
I'm pretty impressed with the software so far and will use it to try out new loadings and see how accurate its predictions are in my rifles.
