    Most certainly not trying to be a smart aleck, but what/how does this help in reloading? Serious question.

    Updated today to v 1.2. Updated some code to get it to work faster. New look on the save to txt function. Will show program version, store data (as before) and also show date and time when the file was created.

    It's the reflected pressure wave in the bore. Some propose that is what causes SEE effect in the barrel. It can be predicted with software but only testing gives the results. A more useful number is time-in-barrel and it's effect with recoil! Follow-through counts.
    Whatever!

    Updated today to v 1.5. New layout on the save to txt function. Added error function to prevent saving an empty txt file.

    New update coming soon. I have added the function to set Node numbers into the program. You can use both negative and positive values.

    Here is the new update to v2.0. Changed the link so there will be no "problem" with PC's catching old html data stored locally.
    For negative values use - in front of desired node.
