Quickload explained--- This is an example of a 358 Winchester simulation in a 20" Browning BLR. I set the max pressure at 57000 psi since Quickload assigns a conservative 58000 psi Saami max, requested a simulation with different powders. Please follow the color coding scheme at the bottom for the most pertinent values. The rest are just academic values. If you're really that gung-ho I can explain these also.



Cartridge : .358 Win.
Bullet : .358, 225, Nosler PART SP 44800
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.780 inch or 70.61 mm
Barrel Length : 20.0 inch or 508.0 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.

Matching Maximum Pressure: 57000 psi, or 393 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 !

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