Problem with QuickLoad Update

[rmfield]

I got the QuickLoad Data update (Dated: 4/28/09) so I could check out some potential Reloader 17 loads. The results I'm getting are <span style="text-decoration: underline">way</span> high in pressure.

Thinking that it might just be the RE17 data, I plugged in a Hodgdon published starter load for 260 Rem (45 gr 4831sc, 142mk) and it came back within a 100 psi of SAAMI 60000 psi max.

When I plugged in the Hodgdon published maximum load for 260 Rem (48 gr 4831sc, 142mk), it came out at 15000 psi above the SAAMI max (about 75000 psi).

COAL=2.8" in all of above.

Anybody else getting strange results after loading this update?

Why is your COAL 1.8"?

My QL is putting cartridge length at 2.800" and case length at 2.030".

Sorry about that. Its 2.8, but very perceptive on your part!

Confirmed. That load is +15Kpsi over SAAMI.
This with QL 3.2.

HotIce, are you running QuickLoad with the 4/28/09 update or the original data that came with your software?

BTW Hodgdon website says this load should be 58,700 psi (at a slightly shorter COAL of 2.780").

Original data.
