Never mind the above post!!!I got it to install, but it did not automatically start.I had to go into the files on it and view some and finally I guess I clicked on the correct thing and it went through the usual installation rituals.But, it's installed.There are a couple more Reloder powders listed, at least different ones than the Manual indicates are available. It is difficult to tell as there is no way one could remember what was there before the update.I sure wish the manufacturer would reveal what was actually updated. If it was just the couple of Reloder powders, the update isn't worth it at all.Good-luck.BCB. You and I are in the same boat. I have a habit of using powders in applications that there is no load data for. It's the main reason I bought Quickload.Yep, me too.I have used it quite a bit with the 6.8mm and 'exotic' powders!!!
Well, powders that are in the correct burn rate, but no data available.I have also used it for super slow surplus stuff using powders like H-1000 etc. As the powder I put into QuickLoad, although I was using WC-860.

It is surprisingly close in predicting velocities.I do watch the color of the window for pressure. That is my main concern and I figure if QuickLoad is even a bit unpredictable, it will still give me info to start loads with-that being, pressures that are lower, considerably lower than it shows as SAAMI specs on pressures.Oh well, I am still wondering about what was actually updated.Good-luck.BCB. Camobob - I think you're close, but my opinion is that it's more of an 'optimum' pressure versus a lowest pressure. Based on my experience, a calibrated load (meaning real chrono data to dial in the QL burn rate) providing a 96-98% 'Amount of Propellent Burnt' is the most efficient way to produce the desired velocity, and will produce best accuracy.Higher percentages of 'Propellent Burnt' indicate too fast a powder and can give you dangerously high pressures to get the top velocity. Lower percentages may or may not get to the desired velocity because the powder is too slow, and while the pressures will likely be lower, so too will the efficiency, accuracy, and cleanliness of the burn ('dirty ammo syndrome').I agree that going too slow will eventually leave you without the desired velocity.
I've also read that the impulse from faster powders produces a more reliable slide movement and less felt recoil. Specifically for 45 acp - I use a lot of Red Dot. Thousands and thousands of rounds with no issue whatsoever however QL shows that bullet seating can make a safe load dangerous real quick.
In some cases, just the variation in case dimensions between manufacturers is enough to get you over the red line. Also, with Red Dot less than 0.3 grains makes the difference between safe (MAP-25%) and risky (MAP-15%). If I use something like Power Pistol, as you said, I use more powder and waste 30% of it so it costs more and burns dirtier.
In return for the wasted powder I get significantly less pressure and way more margin of error while still maintaining the same velocity. Still pondering the perfect solution. Just ran a few numbers - 200gr SWC, 1.250 OAL, 45acp using Red Dot and Unique to produce 900fps.
RD burned 100% while Unique only burned 90%. Unique had 17% less pressure but more important to me, RD hit the red line with 0.1gr of extra powder. Unique hit the red line with 0.6gr extra. I ran a similar scenario in the past only I varied the case volume instead of the extra powder. That's what really got me thinking about pressure. Just using numbers alone it looks to me like the old standards W231 and Red Dot are too fast.
Power Pistol and AA#5 are too slow and Unique is the perfect powder. It's hard for me to believe that the numbers are true considering the zillions of rounds that have been shot out of 1911 style pistols using 231, HP38 and RD.

It's hard for me to believe that the numbers are true considering the zillions of rounds that have been shot out of 1911 style pistols using 231, HP38 and RD.Was this a QL theoretical run, or based on dialing in QL Burn Rates for a given powder using real chrono data? That's the only way I've found to truly dial in with QL. It's only approximate otherwise.Regarding quicker powders than ideal in QL - if you don't push them to extremes, they can work great in milder loads.
And that's what you see reflected in loading manuals.quick powders work, but the velocities are lower while hitting high pressures. It's the process of adjusting the Burn Rate of the powder to match the measured chrono velocity. Some people also adjust the Weighting Factor, but I've had good results just turning the Burn Rate knob.
It's also good to measure the actual H2O capacity of your fired brass and put that in as well. Those two items generally produce very good results.Could you explain this 'burn rate knob'? I put the charge and other data into QL and then I compare its results to actually chronograph results.Example: 22 grains of 4064 is predicted to give 1600 fps. I chronograph it to be 1530 fps. How can I adjust the burn rate of 4064 to be a bit slower?Thanks.BCB. Tom,Thanks for the infoI went back into QuickTarget and cleared all the entered data and then reentered being VERY CAREFUL to enter the correct dataThis stuff can be a bit tricky as some of the old data gets left in place and is missed by the person doing the entering!!!Regardless, I am shooting a 6.8mm SPC, NOE 279-124-FP, 23.0 grains of IMR-7383 for a blistering muzzle velocity of 1600 fps from a T/C 23” carbineUpon reentry of numbers, QuickTarget calculated a drift to the right of.6” at 200 yards.
That sure seems more realistic than the 7” I previously mentioned. I appear to be getting about 1.5” drift, but that could just be me or the ‘scope is not mounted perfectly in line with the path of the boolitThe problem: There was wind figured into the calculations. I did not notice it had been entered, thus, the 7” drift to the rightSorry for the misinformationThanksBCB. Tom,The problem: There was wind figured into the calculations.
I did not notice it had been entered, thus, the 7” drift to the rightThanksBCBBCB,When I first set up the spin drift calculation modification to the Precision BallisticsUltimate software, the spin drift value was simply added to the right or left wind displacement. Even though I was the one that set it all up, I was constantly commiting the same error as you describe.My primary objective when programing the Precision Software is to make the applications as user friendly as possible so, after a lot of frustration, I finally set up the trajectory table with both the spin drift and wind deflection values. The trajectory calculation values are much less confusing now. I know it can be screwy w/ straight wall cases. And 10mm sure seems to be one of them.
The max published load of Longshot was showing something like 60k PSI. This is with a Hornady jacketed bullet so it's not like I'm trying to work up a cast load. But it's something I want to do w/ it. It gave really high pressures w/ a few other published loads as well.+1.
I've had issues of overstated pressures in QL with 6.8 SPC, 204 Ruger, and a couple of other cartridges using published data. Mind you, these weren't theoretical runs, but actual tests where I fed back the chrono data into QL and see what pressure QL calculates were (theoretically) required to achieve those velocities.All in all, I treat it as a great tool, but nothing substitutes for published data and careful observation as you work up loads. I've been using QL for cast boolits, and downloaded the noe boolit file. I tried to find other bullets today and could only get noe boolits. When I search, the only place there is bullet data is in the downloads area.
What did I do?I found the files while searching the computer, but can't open them. When I specify the bullet file in searching for calibers, it says no.bul file found.If they aren't located in the proper directory, the program won't find them. On Windows 10 it put them in C:UsersPublicDocumentsQuickLOADdatabullets so if your.bul files are not in the bullets folder at the end of that path statement, it won't find them. THIS is where it puts them if you choose to install it for all users to access. If you installed it for only you to have access to it, the path statement will be different and you have to find where it put the bullets folder and move your.bul files into that folder.
Saving bullet files in QL v3.9Using the 'Add New or Delete Data' function I can manually add in new bullets with their proper dimensions, and the program saves them each time you click 'Add New' down at the bottom.Then, when I open these files in the main window 'Selected Bullet' screen, it changes the seating depth and bullet length seemingly at random. If I correct the data, tell it Apply&Calc, and then change to another bullet, it does not remember the seating depth that I had used with this bullet earlier.
I have two entries for LBT 250gr WFN boolits with different weights, different lengths, different seating depths, one is PB and the other GC. If I change back and forth between these two, it tries to assign whatever values I left in the seating depth, bullet length entries to each bullet.The Selected Bullet chart is covered on p.59 in the manual, the manual explains what each function does but it does NOT tell you how to do it! There is no 'save' function for the data that is visible in the selected bullet screen that I can see. I cannot get the program to open the same bullet file with the information I entered.
If I change the bullet length, the program automatically changes the seating depth. If I correct the seating depth, when I open this same bullet file again the seating depth is wrong. Very frustrating. Not covered in the manual or any tutorials that I can find. Doug Guy- I use a lot of different brands of brass per caliber, each with it's own case capacity, and corresponding over all length. The overall length is in the case file for that particular brand of brass not the bullet file, (on the Max Cartridge Length line).
So if you use 'brand X' brass as a basis for your workup the computer will always use that max case length for its calculations, and adjust seating depth accordingly. If using only one brand of brass, and using different bullets/ boolits, you can use an identifier when creating a case file ie. (.375 H&H Winchester-1, or 2, 3, ect) Also you'd need to do the same for each one of the 250 WFN's. I hope that will solve your problem.bushman. So, not only do I need to create an entry in the.bul file for each boolit, but when I call this data up and input it into the cartridge window, I need to save that cartridge data as a separate.vol file for each boolit in the calibers directory?
Thanks for the help, I couldn't figure out the exact steps as it acted like it wanted to overwrite an existing file.Edit: Newp. QL stubbornly inputs it's own Seating Depth after saving the active cartridge data.If I tell it save active cartridge data, it wants to save as a.vol file in the calibers directory. If I tell it to load a saved cartridge file it looks in a different directory for a file with a.dat extension. Somebody ain't crossing the T's and dotting the I's. DougGuy,QuickLoad does not 'input a seating depth' as such. The Seating depth is a calculated value that uses the Bullet Length, Case Length and Cartridge Length values.Case Length - Cartridge Length + Bullet Length = Seating Depth.The Bullet Length value is, of course stored in the bullet record and likewise, the Case Length and Cartridge Length values are stored in the selected Cartridge Record.After Selecting a bullet and cartridge.
You may either edit the Cartridge Length and Case Length values in the edit windows or select another cartridge record with the correct Cartridge Length and Case Length valuesMultiple Cartridge records may be stored that contain your various combinations of cartridge trim-to and OAL lengths for each caliber.Hope this helps. This is the WORST program I have ever worked with as far as having to LEARN it's idosyncracies and work around them. This is the WORST program I have ever worked with as far as having to LEARN it's idosyncracies and work around them.
What I need it for is data that isn't in ANY manual. 45 S&W Schofield loads to 23,000psi. I have a 45 S&W case,.45 Schofield, and I have 15 different boolits for it compromising a weight range from 150 to 265 grains. The case length remains constant at 1.098' and so I am only working with one cartridge.Finally stumbled on yet a 3rd table that can be edited in QL that will allow separate data to be stored with a unique filename that appears it may save the data that I input and recall it on a cartridge by cartridge basis. So you have bullet data in a.bul file, caliber data in a.vol file and cartridge data in a.dat file which can all contain the same exact data, yet only the.dat file actually saves the edited parameters. DougGuy,When I first used the software, I believe I was having the same problem.Just to make sure. Are you entering a new cartridge case by first selecting the menu item at the top left of the form titled.
'Data Add, Change Load Save'?Then select ' Case / Caliber Data Change data records in active file'?will bring up the cartridge module where you can enter the cartridge case data. BE SURE TO click the 'Add New' button.When I first started using the program, I was having the same problem. I was not clicking the 'Add New' button.enter 'Data Add, Change Load Save'?Then select ' Projectile / Bullet Data Change data records in active file'.The bullet data module will appear. Enter the bullet data and BE SURE TO click the 'Add New' button.go back to Selected Cartridge section and click on the little down arrow.
Go all the way to the bottom of the files to find your newly enter cartridge case record and select it.Another problem I had was not searching for the newly entered record at the bottom end of the list.go to the Selected Bullet section and find your newly entered bullet record. It may be all the way to the bottom of the listed files.next time you open the Quickload program these records will be arranged in their proper place in the list.)your selected cartridge and bullet values will appear and the seating depth will be calculated.It always works for me every time.http://www.tmtpages.com/LinkSkyImages/forumimages/QuickLoad/Results.PNG. Thanks Tom, Yep, I got it all working now where it saves the cartridge data. I made SURE all my boolit files were synced too so the length and weight and everything was the same in all places you could add or store that data.One thing I did was to copy off all the factory installed files and renamed them to.old and I copied just the lines of txt out of them that coincided with the cartridge and boolits I was using. So my whole.vol file is only 45 Schofield loads and no other entries. My whole.bul file is ONLY the 14 boolits I have to use with this cartridge. The entire powder file is ONLY the powders I have on hand that will be used in the Schofield tests.
Basically I stripped away everything that didn't pertain to the Schofield loads. I can always put back the original files, or simply add lines from them if I want to load a different cartridge. This way the program CAN'T revert to the default file it opens with, and I caught it doing that once too, so after my frustrating experiences the first week, I have learned to keep a.txt file with all my boolit data in there so I can check right away when I change to a new boolit and make sure it has the correct COA and seating depth. So far, it is behaving nicely.I was able to make 170 entries for the 45 Schofield cartridge, 15 boolits and 12 powders, boolit weights ranging from 150gr to 265gr. For each boolit, there are 12 different powder files that run from -20% to +10% and run up to 23,000psi pressures which is what the medium framed Vaquero is rated for.This may be excessive, but it will let me look over the data and see if there is a pattern of efficiency and sorta gather which loads might have the most promise so I don't have to load and test every single one. I want to take the most promising loads and chrony these and shoot them for group.I probably don't have the QL data dialed in as close as I could, I am sure there are things in there that I missed.
I also went back and ran the light weight boolits with reduced powder charges and saved those as a lite version of the boolit, mouse fart loads and target loads. I'm sure this has been asked 100 times but. I am doing a wildcat based on the 6X45. I want to save the file changes specific to the case length and case capacity etc. And I want to name it, let's say, 6 MM Whacker and have it in my pull down cartridge listings along with the other hundreds available. How can I do that?Any help would be appreciated as I've been fighting this silently for months,Greg.GLShooter,You can use the procedures listed in the menu items at the upper left of the form.First, click on 'Main Menu'Select 'Case / Caliber data'Then click on 'Data Add, Change, Load, Save' and select the 'Change data records in active file'.Cartridge Edit form will appear.Click the small down-arrow at the upper right of the cartridge edit form and select the cartridge that you are wildcatting.( or any cartridge will do)the cartridge name to your new wildcat cartridge name. Edit all values and dimension to your new cartridge and be sure to click the 'Add New' button.new cartridge will be added to the bottom of the list of cartridges.
(The next time you open the QuickLoad program, your cartridge will be in it's proper place in the listing.new cartridge may now be selected just as any other cartridge.this helps. Well well well. I got QuickLoad to install and run in FreeBSD!The distro I am using is PC-BSD 10.3 which I installed Virtualbox, then installed a stripped down copy of Windows XP into virtualbox, and QuickLoad very happily installed into this virtual XP and runs great. It does NOT KNOW it isn't running on a native install of windows.I will get a screenshot or two when I can get the display sorted out.Edit: Installed a stripped down copy of Windows 7 into virtualbox, and QuickLoad installs and runs in this one also, now I can get rid of the virtual XP machine.PC-BSD is really nice, easy to install and use, and best of all it AIN'T MICROSOFT!QuickLoad running in a virtual Windows 7 on the PC-BSD desktop:(http://s1202.photobucket.com/user/DougGuy/media/PC-BSD%20Stuff/snapshot1smallerzpsjeycox9v.jpg.html). Had to abandon PC-BSD and move to Linux Mint which has much better hardware support for bluetooth devices, and raid controllers which I have one in each machine.I originally installed VirtualBox in Linux, which allows a full blown install of any Windows OS to run within the VM, and it also runs QuickLoad just like it would run in Windows, it does not know that Windows is running in a virtual environment in Linux. Neither does Windows know it is running in a virtual environment.
Slick stuff;)QuickLoad runs great in Linux Mint 18. It had a couple of issues at install where you have to choose a font because the font it wants to use is not in Linux but after that, it installs and runs nicely.This screenshot is the Cinnamon desktop distro running QuickLoad 3.9 in WINE, an emulator that lets you run Windows programs in Linux.

I run a laptop with windows XP for Quickload. It is a tad inconvenient and I would love to get Quickload running on my Linux PC.Your post is mostly meaningless words to me, impressive none the less, well done. I would be willing to pay more than that. There are a lot of new powders on the market now. I know I've said it a lot in this thread already. But they need to update the powders more often.

I run a laptop with windows XP for Quickload. It is a tad inconvenient and I would love to get Quickload running on my Linux PC.Piece of cake actually, your linux distro probably has WINE already installed in it, if not open the software manager and search for WINE. Install it, and open the WINE configuration, it will probably want to install the mono component, and the gecko component, just follow it through and click yes to all of it's prompts.Put the QuickLoad cd in the drive, once linux mounts the cdrom drive, navigate to the setup.exe on the cd, rt. Click and choose 'Open With Wine Program Installer' and run the install. If it errors and says 'This program must be run from cdrom' I found out that removing and reinserting the cd will allow the installer to continue. You may have to do this a time or two, it is how linux mounts the cdrom that messes with the QL installer. Once it figures out it is being run from cdrom it will install.It may give an error about fonts, just select a convenient font in the options window and it will be happy.
Piece of cake? Not in my case.I don't seem to be able to get WINE to install, I can get the WINE install window up, I hit the install button, a progress bar appears at the bottom gets to 16% and the disappears. I've checked and it isn't installed.Nothing is simple with these bloody computers they just suck away your life trying to get them to do what you want and nine time out of ten failing in the process, they are very debilitating to ones well being.I've also loaded virtual box which loaded fine after a couple of tries but it is now asking me to put in a windows XP disc which I don't have.smilie=b. Yessir, it took me 2-3 tries to get virtualbox to load and run, and you had to do it specifically step by step for it to work. I remember cussing at that one more than once.Might be time to move to Linux Mint 18 Sarah? Whole lots of improvements over Maya.I ran the wine installer from terminal.

I have an older version (3.4) of Quickload. I would like to get a never version with an up-to-date powder line. Simple enough, right?Wrong!At first I emailed the danish dealer (for some inexplicable reason you can only purchase an upgrade in the country where you bought the program) The dealer informed me that I had to send them my Quickload CD and $25 + postage. I had issues with the UK dealer when I tried to upgrade my US bought QL, I just run the old version and bugger paying for the upgrades as I won't give the UK dealer any money after the way I was treated. Sounds like the dealer system isn't working that well in some countries.Well, two can play that game: (Disclaimer!
This is a hypothetical scenario which bears no similarity to any recent events)Do a google search for 'qloadfw.pro' (apostrophes included) If any luck, copy the file: C:binquickloaddatapowdersqloadfw.pro to qloadfw-old.pro and replace the data in the original file with the new content. I'm still trying to migrate from ms to linux. I finally found my install disc for ql. When I put the disc in, there was no auto run option.
It just shows me the files that are on the disc. I have wine on my computer. Can somebody hold my hand and guide me through the install? From what I see, things are not as automatic as they are on windows.
I barely know how to turn the darned thing on. I have ubuntu installed and the wine version is 1.6Look for a file named 'setup.exe' and double-click on it. Then it's just a matter of following the on-screen instruktions. These are first impressions, observations, and questions about QuickLoad.Just got it and am only mucking around figuring out how it works. I’ll appreciate any feedback anyone wants to give on any point I list. At this point I am only looking at.38spl, +p, and.357mag.In no particular order1.
Raised eyebrows at what powders are NOT in the database. No 700X/800X (et al populars)?
Seems like cast bullet selection is miniscule.3. I am surprised how little difference case length changes thingsup to a point.4. Ditto for moderate bullet weight changes.5.
Is there a place other than QuickLoad uptates where more complete bullet and powder data files can be had?The following is for theoretical purposes only so I can understand some of the concepts of how it works and how to check certain loadsTheoretical example: I have a.357 mag and want to experiment with short case loads, shorter than.38spl. Just to use round numbers lets say the case is 1.00” long.
I would load the parameters for 357 (pressure), then change the definition of the case length from 1.285 to 1.00, and cartridge length from 1.55 to 1.265. Quickload will use the 357 pressures as a baseline, and recalculate the load to the shorter case.Is this how it works? Being new to Quickload, I've just been mucking around with it and cross-checking with manuals. What I have no clue about is what range should some of the outputs be in?1. Muzzle Pressure.
Lower is better, right? I've seen numbers from 600-ish, up to 5000-ish. What pressure is an upper limit/zone?2. Amount of propellant burned. This surprises me. I lust looked up (Lyman # 44).38 spl, bullet 358495 (141 gr), 95gr of 4227.
This shows a rather low pressure graph, (6458 Pmax), 611fps, but only 30-ish% powder burned. Yikes.What are good middle of the road numbers for these factors in general?I'm trying to build trust in QL, but I find that while velocities may at times match, the pressure curve can at times seem way low or way high compared to printed data. I like the program but need to have confidence that I'm not in a danger zone. Well it appears I need to get a new computer—the present one is acting insane and it has been to a repair shop and I honestly think it came back in worse condition, I know it did-many self-proclaimed geniuses everywhere. When I get a new computer, I will make my “Neanderthal Adjustments” to this computer with a Louisville SluggerMy question: Can all of the QL data, along with the program, be transferred across to the new computer.
Or will I have to install QL again on the new computer and lose all my stored data?ThanksBCB.

The good news is that you can locate your present quickload data files and simply copy them over the newly installed data files.Depending on how you installed the program on your old computer, the files may be located at either of these two locationsC:Users 'Your User Name' DocumentsQuickLOADdataIf the quick load files are not there then look inC:UsersPublicDocumentsQuickLOADdataThe folder named data has all the quickload component data files in it.
Locate the data folder and copy it to a CD or Thumb Drive before you trash your old computer. Then, when you install the Quickload program on your new computer, locate the Quickloaddata folder and you can either copy the individual component files or the complete data folder.Hope this helps. Hi,My first post.I purchased Quickload a few years ago installed on my computer then basically never used it because 1) I had other stuff to do, 2)it didn't have the cartridge I was interested in and 3) IMO excessively complicated.Anyway, now am trying to install on a new computer (old one broke) and part way through the install it stops and gives me error message 'Path/file access error'. I click the retry button to no avail. At this point the only option appears to uninstall the partial install and start over which I did several times with no success.Any help would be appreciated.ThanksMiles.
BCBI am running QL on Win 10, with no problems.Just checked Neconos site,here is some info on Win set up,Windows 10 Installation Insrtuctions:When you want install older versions of QL as there is QL V.3.6 or V.3.8 under Windows10 the install program will produce an error at the end just before finishing the installation and after installing the pdf-manuals. Solution:Do not react on error screen by pressing 'try again' or 'Cancel' button! Instead invoke task manager (Hotkey=Ctrl-Alt-Del) and terminate Quickload setup process.Everything you need is installed properly on your computer. You'll find QuickLoad, QuickTarget, QuickTarget Unlimited in Start menu under 'all apps'.You may attach them manually to 'Start' area. (right click on program icon and select 'fix it to Start') This is because Win10 does no longer allow Desktop icons programatically installed. Therefore the installer has to be altered. QL v3.6 allowes the user to select 'Install desktop icons and entries in Start menu' Because of Win8 (no longer Start menu) it was altered to force desktop icons for QL 3.8.
QL v.3.9 has now Start menu entries but no desktop icons (the user cannot select desktop icons, they were switched off when installer detects Win10. Furthermore the de-install Icon is not installed in Start menu. De-install is available by right click on Start button and select: 'programs and features' you will find a Quickload entry for de-installing.The newest version of QuickLOAD is now available. It is Version 3.9. No need to upgrade to 3.9. It only corrects the need to go through the above procedures to install on Windows 10.
No new data on 3.9.HTH,Tia,Don.
