    Help adding powder to quickload.

    I've been reading my manual for quickload lately trying to figure out how to add a powder to the program.

    Firstly I'm trying to add Winchester AutoComp and Quickload is asking for Minimum and Maximum BA values and that's not something I have and I'm not sure how to look up the BA values of other powders so I can get it close.

    I would image if I could get a starting point than I would be able to test loads(chrono) and correct the data in quickload to match. Any Quickload experts point me in the right direction?

    I've never tried it, but then I haven't got real deep into it. But when I contacted them about some problems when I converted to Win 10 they got right back to me. So you might give them a call or Email. But there is a Post here that say's the Average User Can Not Input Powders? http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...d-thread/page7

    Thanks I think your right I'll just email them and see if they can send me a file to plug in for autocomp.

    There is a "Sticky" on QuickLoad in the Reloading Equipment section...

    Might try that...

    I've adjusted burn rates of powders, but never added a powder...

    Good-luck...BCB
