I have the same references as Vince does and I have the reloading program for windows from RCBS by GMDR and it works pretty good. You hzave the capability to design both loads and wildcat cartridges with it. i'll take a look at it tonight when I get home and get back to you.

My friend, who has given up shooting for health reasons gave me his copy of Quickload 3.6 to try. I am intend to run some of my loads through it and compare predictions with my own results as well as my loading manuals.

Oh, and if you'd like I can try and run some numbers for you. The more input you can provide, the more accurate the output QuickLOAD will give you. As software developers often say:

"Garbage in = Garbage out." Or to put it another way, you can't expect to get good results if the data provided is poor.

To get the most accurate data possible, please provide the following information:

Cartridge:
Bullet:
Measured bullet length:
Measured boat-tail length (if applicable):
Measured boat-tail diameter (if applicable):
Powder:
Charge Weight (optional):
Case
----
Length:
Measured H20 Capacity*:
COAL:
Bullet touching/jammed into lands at COAL (Y/N)?:
Barrel
------
Length:
Twist Rate:

*measured to case mouth, no meniscus.

I do not own Quickload but I have watched others use it is and the ones who understand what all of the input parameters control find it to be more representative of their results than others who leave setting at default. Particularly the case water capacity.
