[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5110620, member: 16430"] Let's calculate some loads in Quickload. Someone pick a rifle that you have all reloading components for and you know has a good barrel. I will need specifics. 1 caliber 2 Bullet manufacturer, weight, description, and if possible part number. 3 using a comparator or other means, measure the COAL with the bullet seated .020" from the lands. ( We can go Sammi length but it will be a better starting load at .020" off lands) 4 Weigh a piece of fire formed, neck sized brass with primer installed. Then fill it with water and weigh again. I need the weight difference. That is the cartridge fill weight in h20. 5 measure barrel length from bolt face to end of muzzle. If threaded, to end of threads without brake or flash hider. 6 Pick your powder. Obviously it needs to be a powder that works well in that caliber. [/QUOTE]
