Guest varmartin Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 What I usually do is this...... Weigh a case on digi scales in grains, zero the scales ( tar ) function, remove case and fill to brim with tap water. Re weigh case and you will get the H2O capacity in grains. If this reading is different to the default reading in quick load...(and it may well be due to case and chamber differences) Change the reading in the relevant box for a more accurate calculation.

davo Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 +2 from me as well. Thats exactly what I did to find out the max case capacity for the different brass I've got because I bought Quickload ver3.4 and it showed that the loads I have tried and found to be very good where HIGH pressure using the default max setting, although on an earlier version they showed OK, after I weighed them and adjusted the max capacity entry the loads once more showed acceptable projected pressure readings.
