Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 59400 psi, or 409 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 112 %
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.

George you’ll be please. I used the bullet on crop damage deer. 5 of 6 didn’t make a step. Entrance wound 243 size, no exit wound. The 6th made a few yards and had an exit wound. All does, all double lung. I used RL26. Chrono’d a little under 3300fps.George Foster":1mh0viho said:
