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 ?

No expert,but yes QL will estimate the chamber and muzzle pressure according to COL. This must be verified by chronograph and the powder burn rate adjusted to match the actual velocity. It also provides load densities and amount of powder burnt plus much more.
