Interesting free alternative to Quick Load (from Germany)

[LastShot300]

I've been doing a quick test of this new software for interior ballistics, apparently based on the same method as Quick Load

What platforms does the program run on? Thanks,

No expert claim here, but I just read Windows (I installed on it) and Linux. Just go, register and download the setup for your platform of choice. It's a solid package.

Is it just me or does it only powders common in Europe?

No Alliant, IMR, Hodgen, etc powders in the database.

The documentation says you can import powder profiles from QuickLoad but didn't get to that point yet. But you speak german, so try to join their community and get back with some good info to share

Might explain the "FREE" part as long as you buy the other guys stuff.

why is that? you say QL powder files are not free?

This community project is really taking off, now we have a tool similar to QuickDesign. What else to say? Free and works like a charm

I’ve used it with 4166 and 4064 and 8208xbr so it has IMR powders.

Interesting program, but the results it gave me didn’t seem to translate to the real world very well as far as velocities.
It did correctly predict my pressures were too high on my AR 10.
I pierced some primers well below max book charge.

Have you compared it to QL?
