Could you verify your Maximum Case Capacity, overflow. You will need to tare a fired case and pipette in deoxygenated water at room temp. The usual MCC is 68 grains. Thus, 60.8 grains seems unusually low. If you will verify this value, I'll be glad to assist you.

QL is set to measure the weight (which approximates volume) using deoxygenated water (let an open container set out uncovered overnight) before weighing. Then measure by carefully pipetting water until you form a convex meniscus. That is the MCC overfill that the system is calibrated with. Using the data you provide gives me the following data:
The values may differ somewhat with a more accurate volume measurement.
Code:
Cartridge : 6.5-06 A-Square
Bullet : .264, 130, Nosler AccuBond 56902
Useable Case Capaci: 60.167 grain H2O = 3.907 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 23.0 inch = 584.2 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 65000 psi, or 448 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
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 !
12 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
