I would assume there is a way to enter new projectiles into the database? I have just been using a Lee case boolit that is in the database to guesstimate. There has to be a better way....

Do, or do not.

NOE has a NOE.bul file you can download and stick it in the same directory with all the other .bul files and QL will gladly find it and use it.
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

Not all of them are in there. I had already started adding my own before I found out about the file from Al. It's not hard to create a new bullet profile. Create a folder and then enter the dimensions for each bullet. It's really easy w/ NOE because the dimensional drawings are available and they include the BC. W/ Mihec molds I have to measure everything and calculate the BC.

I feel like an idiot......I can do that but where do I find the correct ICAO and Shot Start numbers?
Hornady Cowboy 205gr is .151 and 1160
Hornady 200gr XTP is .170 and 2176
Winchester Silver Tip 210gr is .141 and 2176
Winchester JSP 200gr is .150 and 2176
Winchester's ammunition website shows the 44-40 super x to be .161
Any idea what the NOE 432-200RF would be?
