Thank you.

With my 357AR Max, I collected chrono data while playing around with small changes in charges and AOLs. Shortly after this I got the Quickload program and went back & plugged in loads. I found the program to be very good for velocity with the powders I was using as long as I was careful with the parameters that define percent fill (bullet length, case length, case capacity and AOL).
For you 25.0 gr 357 Max load, I ran with your 2.079 AOL and got 2397 fps calculated vs. your 2388 fps
For you 24.3 gr 357 Max load, I ran with your 2.079 AOL and got 2346 fps calculated vs. your 2319 fps
I also ran your 350L load. I am not sure if it has the same barrel length, and we have not confirmed the case capacity / powder density info is good.
For you 24.3 gr 350L load, I ran with your 2.130 AOL and got 2356 fps calculated vs. your 2304 fps
Are your velocities corrected back to muzzle, or are they the raw numbers at some distance out?
