I've had QL for about 6 or so yrs now. To me its invaluable, but I do load for several cartridges. In terms of load development and checking different powders, pressures,bullet specs and velocities it saves a lot of range time and money. It also has a ballistic calculator that is as good or better than any others I have used. Simply build up a load and transfer the data to the ballistic software and it's accurately completed in two clicks.
It is very easy to navigate but there is some tweaking to do regarding powder burn rates. Once that chore is completed the projected velocities and pressures are extremely accurate. It's very powerful software that finds the basic reloading data base using only about 40% of it's total capabilities.
I can't live without it and I'm sure the same would apply to any serious handloader. It's the best value for a handloading / ballistic tool out there for the money IMO.
A chronograph is required.
