Would someone be so kind to run a QL on the following doing one with a Winchester case and one with a Remington case :
270 Win
CCI250
IMR4831
3.330 OAL
24" barrel.

Thx in advance for any help.
 
Frank,

QuickLOAD doesn't have a selection on brass manufacturer. We use the case "overflow water capacity" for what ever case we are using. That information helps to fine tune the QL projections. Also, to my knowledge, there is not selection for the primer type. I adjust the Ba factor (burning rate) for the powder to accommodate different powder lots and primers. I used the information you provided for this projection. All other variables are default values.

Dan, Thank you for the QL and the description of some of the defaults work. Appreciate your help; I should purchase my own copy and learn how to run it.

Have a good day and holiday!
