A freind wants to load barnes 180 grain tsx bullets in a 3006 can anyone with quick load run the numbers for me?? want to use standard case capacity and IMR 4350 or Mag pro. Sorry for being a pain, thought about buying the program but i dont vary enough from published data to justify the cost.

Thank you chicken theif. Do you find yourself using quick loads often? I want to buy the program but like I posted above, I just do not vary enough from published data to justify the cost.

In everything i have worked on it is true to 2-5% of calculated velocity.

Done a lot of subsonic = spot on.

A friend asked about his load in a 416 Rigby (he only stated powder type and barrel length) and it got the load spot on and the velocity was only 2% off.

My results almost mirror those of Chicken Thief. Good program. Fun to tinker with.
