Quick Load - Help

[hunterwarrior]

Just got a new laptop and my copy of Quick Load won't load. Going to their web site I find I need to mail my CD to them and upgrade to a Vista compatible version. In the mean time, I need to run some loads. Wanting to find which Vihtavuori powders and weights are best suited for a 90 gr Sierra HPBT GameKing bullet and 100 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet (.257 cal) in a 250 Savage.

Can someone here run these for me?

Thanks HW

Re: Quick Load - Help

That's too much work.

You need to be more specific.

Too much work? Takes less than 30 seconds.

Select 250 Savage, select bullet and run the report that gives all the powders that are suited for that combo. Can't remember what report is called, but it is only 3 or 4 mouse clicks to generate.

Thanks HW

Re: Quick Load - Help

I just spent 5 minutes trying to do figure it out:

Cartridge : .250 Savage
Bullet : .257, 100, Nosler BalTip 25100
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.515 inch or 63.88 mm
Barrel Length : 20.0 inch or 508.0 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.

Matching Maximum Pressure: 46321 psi, or 319 MPa

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 100 %

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

3 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
