I have a friend that uses this software and I hope to get it someday. QuickLoad can be amazingly accurate but it does have a learning curve. One shouldn't use this software to replace handload books, consider using both !!!The software gets you in the "ballpark" with calculations.

Discrepancy between Quickload and observed data : https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=551296

The ballpark thing:
COL and freebore - every rifle chamber is unique in dimension, some have very long throats and others don't - depends on cartridge & action. The software does estimate PSI of a powder load which can indicate a potential over pressure. Quickload and observed data at the range can be different - many variables to carefully consider !!! Question for a quickload expert: I am not sure if there are parameters in the software to calculate bore pressure based on COL, chamber length ?
