Would anyone be willing to run my load through quickload for me?? I'm curious to see what the pressure estimates are:

.30-06 208gr Amax 57-59gr RL 22 cci 200, 3.34" oal (.02" off the lands) 22" barrel
57.0gr avg vel 2664fps
59.0gr avg vel 2735fps

Thanks in advance.

On a side note, I'm contemplating buying the software. What have you guys found to be most beneficial about the program? I don't know too much about it but it seems very similar to some of the archery programs I've used before in arrow selection. How accurate are the estimates/calculations to real world numbers?? Any thoughts would be great!

My QL did not have 208gr A-Max data, so I modified Berger's length to your spec.


Cartridge : .30-06 Spring.
Bullet : .308, 210, Berger VLD
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch or 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 22.0 inch or 558.8 mm
Powder : Alliant Reloder-22

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !
