Boy that looks very interesting 2850fps with a 180gr.

Thank you for the quickload runs, it sure looks interesting. My average case capacity for 10 fired Nosler cases is 71.7 grains using distilled water with primers in place. This is significantly more than the 58.4 grains used in the runs.
What variables are input into quickload for Reloder 23? Am I correct in believing that I can start loading around 60 grains of Reloder 23 and watch the velocities to see how it performs with 180's in my rifle?
Thanks again for the runs. Rol

Roland the 58.4grs is usable case space your 71.7 grs includes the neck space. 115% might be more than the case can hold. Never tried RL23 so I don't know the size of the powder. I thought RL17 was going to be the cats meow in the Whelen AI but couldn't get enough in and have room for the bullet.
The capacity shown is the actual case capacity after the chosen bullet is seated at the COAL entered in QL. It subtracts out capacity for the bullet length etc.
Can you load and shoot a few based on QL runs to get an idea where you are and such? Certainly.
It actually works better if you run a few across the chrono and calibrate QL to what you are actually seeing. That really allows us to get you some pretty pertinent data.
If you would like, send me a few chrono readings and I can rerun it for you.
