POP - Quickload Request

[Richracer1]

POP, will you see if Quickload can come up with the maximum load for the 204 Ruger with Barnes 26gn varmint grenade bullets propelled by H322 and Varget.

Barnes only lists RL-10 and Win 748. RL-10 didn't work to my satisfaction and I really don't want to go buy 748.

Bullets Specifics (if needed):
SD = .089
BC = .131
Length = .632

Thanks POP

Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.220 inch or 56.39 mm
Barrel Length : 26.0 inch or 660.4 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.

Matching Maximum Pressure: 62000 psi, or 427 MPa

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %

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.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

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

[Richracer1]

POP & Steve,

Thanks for the info.

 

[FOTIS]

No problem Rich but before you thank us...Wait until you get our bill!

 

[steve4102]

Remember, QL is only a prediction or guess. It is not gospel. It also works better if you plug in all the info you can, like Your exact OAL, Your fired case capacity/grain of water and Your barrel length. I had to guess on these. If you want, I can run QL again if you supply these numbers. It may not change much, but then again it may.

 

[FOTIS]

Steve is spot on!
