QL question

[bboswell]

I am intrigued with the info that QL provides but I can never make heads or tails out of the QL’s info people post.

This is a screen shot of a recent post for a combo I am in interested in.

Can someone break down what it’s saying for H4831 SC? It’s just a bunch of numbers with no heading or labels.

 

[jimbires]

H4831sc , 102.7 % case fill , 60.7grains of powder , 3.93 gramm of powder , 2936FPS velocity , 98.3% propellant burnt , 64250 psi max pressure , 11678 psi when bullet exits bbl , 1.155 bbl time in milliseconds , then it says near max powder charge


this info is in nice neat columns on quickload . when it gets copied and pasted on the forum it gets all jumbled up .

Thanks. I figured that was the case, so it only provides a max load and no suggested starting load?

most reloading books go about 4.0 grains below the max charge and call this the minimum starting load . so on the example above , I'd start at 56.7 grains . you would work up from the min load towards max , while watching for pressure .

The one you posted is a run for all powders. Lets you have an idea which ones may be good.
For what you are asking you want an individual run on 4831 only. That will give a list of charges with that particular powder.

Also, QL allows for barrel length, differences in cases, primers.

My favorite is the 10% light and 10% hot. If your lot is running hot, you can figure it out quickly and safely.

I didn’t look on at your specifics, but let’s say H4831, at max load on your 3006, should be 2950 FPS, and you are running a ladder test and you hit 2950 at 100%, now pretend you use all your H4831 and buy a second lot. And the new batch is hot 10%...you can see that and adjust your recipe.

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
