Your going to need someone with tested solids data on QL because QL isn’t set up normally for solids

Change initiation pressure to 6525 and you should be close.

Unfortunately, the QuickLOAD user manual is useless.

Unfortunately, the 125 gr Maximum bullet is not in the database.

The 130 with IMR 4451 and Hornady brass (greater case capacity than Lapue usually) shows you probably can't get enough powder in the case to make 4451 a good choice.

Look for a faster powder.

Cutting edge sent me this data they had
Just with a 30" barrel
Didn't have 4451 on the list of data they had.

Is H4350 close enough to imr 4451?

I'll just start my loads way low on charge and work up. Wish I could get faster powder but this is literally all I have been able to get in months. Apart from 4451, I have about 10lb of varget and 10lb of reloader 23. And then about 6lb of H335.

What powder would you recommend looking out for preferably? I might be able to trade some of my varget for reloader 17 with a buddy.

IMR 4451 and H4350 are close in burn rate but Quickload is telling me 4451 is too bulky a powder to be useful.

I won't use a powder without published data from either the powder or bullet company which I then fine-tune with QuickLOAD.

I would look for one of the powders on Cutting Edge's list.

Shortage suck.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. ill talk to a buddy and see if i can trade for some reloader 17 then. i like it had 100% burn with only 93% capacity of case filled.

Be careful with RL17, temperature will affect it greatly. Not just air temp but letting a round “cook” in a hot chamber. I don’t use RL 17 anymore except for barrel break in

I use 4451 for 140 ELD-Ms in my 26" Proof CF. I'm getting about 2860 fps with 42.3gr and got started to receive pressure signs around 43.6 gr with Peterson brass.
I have been using Gordons Reloading Tool which has been extremely accurate with all my cartridges, only being off 10-15 fps with actual velocities. Its also open source, and is constantly being updated with gathered data from the community. Its database on bullets, powders, and cartridges is phenomenal, I don't have QL however, so I can't compare.
Here are the results from Gordons:
