Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 55114 psi, or 379 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 !

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

if it's a ELDX , it only comes in a 143 gr 6.5 dia bullet . I don't see a ELDM listed for the 6.5 bullets

Excellent, THANK YOU very much. This should get me in the ballpark.

Early result on load work-up on HOWA 6.5x55 Swede using the Hornady 140 gr. ELD-M
44.3 gr. H4350, CCI 200 primer = .588" group (3-shot) at 100 yds. Haven't chronographed yet.
Lots of combinations left to do.
