Quickload help please

When using Quickload.
What do you think would be an acceptable maximum pressure for a .338 Edge when using Remington and Nosler brass?

Thanks

Re: Quickload help please

Not having put the mental effort in to check this, I'm guessing that the .338 Edge mentioned in the OP is NOT a standard round with SAAMI specs.

Asking for pressure, eh? I'd say keep hour brass happy and don't exceed about 61,000 Piezo PSI, measured by CIP standards. QuickLOAD's pressure output ESTIMATES/PROJECTIONS are built around the CIP standards using piezo measurements.

Depending on the propellant and cartridge and bullet used, those piezo transducer numbers can be quite a bit "higher" than those generated by the CUP method, so don't bother to compare unless you have some A/B testing with everything but the test barrel identical...

Is your reference to feeding "the seagulls" something to do with keeping one's brains inside one's head and NOT becoming available as scavenger food?

Remember the joke about the hitchhiker, and the driver's brother-in-law who has driven "like this for years in this town, and never had an accident".

We've been asked by QuickLoad to not provide their data here on SnipersHide, to people who don't own the program. They don't want any free advice given with their software, one needs to pay them for it.

Maybe his comment has something to do with that?

Ding!

Agree with it or not, it's what Lowlight and QL have requested. However, one might find a way to share information through back channels...

Oh, what I call "feeding the carp".

You feel sorry for the skinny carp at the back of the school down at the dock, so you get more popcorn and throw it farther out.

All it does is attract more freeloading carp. It's a mathematical/behavior INEVITABILITY that under such circumstances, there will ALWAYS be some hungry carp at the back of the crowd.

Congresscritters and Marxists don't understand that.

Re: Quickload help please

Hey I posted this to get an idea if Quickload gave different figures for these two different makes of brass. ie Nosler or Remington.
The reason being that someone told me that Nosler brass was a lot heavier than Rem brass but also softer and needed lower charges.
I was not trying to freeload on anyone! I was actually thinking that if Quickload could provide this sort of data then maybe it was worth forking out the money for.
But if the boys that own Quickload dont even want to let people discuss what it can do and see the value of its features, then they can get stuffed.
I guess this little carp might find something elso to eat.

It's not that people are unwilling to talk about QL features. People are unwilling to crunch numbers for you using QL.

As far as the features go, QL does not contain data for Nosler vs. Remington brass. A QL user has to figure out what their respective water capacity is and input that number into the calculation.
