240 Weatherby QuickLoad request, please.

Thanks, that's good information to know. Based on what I see on google, you use a fired case (primer in) and weigh 3-5 cases empty and then filled to the top with water and get an average of the case capacity/weight in grains?
Obviously it appears you need to do this with each different manufacturer of the cases you're using as they seem to variy quite a bit in some cartridges.

That is how I do it. Makes a big difference in the QL predictions.

The only one sucking on lemons is you jfseaman, the OP didn't even give his case capacity from a case fired in his rifle. Meaning even the reply data "YOU" posted here is not correct.

Quickload defaults to the lowest case capacity and YOU didn't even ask for the correct case capacity. So this lets me know you are not very technical or fully understand Quickload.

So much for expert programmers and "technical" Quickload users.

Bottom line, what good did it do to post the incorrect data without the correct case capacity. The default setting for case capacity for the .223/5.56 is 28.0 grains of H2O and my Lake City cases hold 30.6 grains of H2O. And this difference make 6,000 psi difference in chamber pressure for the same powder charge.

So please tell us "WHY" did you reply to the OP and give out incorrect velocity and chamber pressure information and then have the audacity to say I'm not technically minded.

Let me get some popcorn.

Are you or have you ever been a professional programmer?

If you are a professional programmer do you really program or do you make web pages?

If you are a professional programmer, did you start with real programming like assembly language, "C", Pascal, COBOL, RPG? Super high level languages like Java, JavaScript, ASP and Perl is not programming.

If you are a malcontent who just wants to **** on everyone's parade, carry on, I have my popcorn now.
