Hi guys!
I bought Quickload many years ago, unfortunately shared it with a good friend of mine on his computer. I got the computer when he passed away, unfortunately I can't update the QL because I don't have admin login to this computer. So, I'm kind of stuck.
Is there anyone here that possibly could check out the combination of the values underneath give in theoretical velocity and pressure plus what the maxload would be (theoretically) with this COAL.

Brass: Starline
Bullet: 143 gr eld-x
Powder: Norma URP
Primer: Small, Federal.
Charge: 38.30 gr
COAL: 2.830"

Thank you guys :)

Need your barrel length. Out of a 24" bbl velocity is shown as 2576. Only 47,265 psi pressure. 2465 fps out of a 20" bbl.

Whaaaat!? Only that? Yes, sir, it's a 24" barrel. What would the max load be?
I'll try to do a nice ladder test jammed to find my max load but don't want to load up unnecessarily many loads way over. Just trying to have some type of benchmark to have something to aim at.
Appreciate the help:)

The Norma website doesn't list loads for the Hornady 143 gr ELD-X, but they do have a load for the Nosler 140 gr Accubond. They list max load for that bullet as 40.3 gr.
QuickLoad shows 40.3 gr. of URP loaded with your brass and bullet as producing 2699 fps from a 24" bbl. Pressure 55, 113 PSI.

Yeah, I looked at them as well. But I didn't have the luck with their data in 308 and 300 win mag. Ql used to be closer to the real value I got, more or less, obviously I could go Max++ but still. Appreciate you taking time and helping out, thank you ?
