This program can generally give you a good idea concerning the accuracy of the cartridges you reload by taking the amount of powder you use, case, gun barrel length, type of projectile (bullet), weight, depth of seating the bullet and some other metrics that go into simulating how a particular load will perform.

QuickLOAD is absolutely not a replacement for learning what you should do and it is recommended that you read a reloading manual or two in conjunction with a program such as this one. This software can even be used with a chronograph (check their website for details as I did not test this feature yet). QuickLOAD (sold by and around $152 at the time of this article) is amazing software of epic proportions that can be of great use to people who like to reload their own ammunition (but not limited to that…by far). Data developed in the QuickDESIGN cartridge designing program can be imported into QuickLOAD/QuickTARGET for interior and exterior ballistic analysis.” No other interior/exterior ballistics program has the capabilities of QuickLOAD/QuickTARGET. The data generated can then be used by the QuickTARGET portion of the program to determine trajectories, wind deflection, sight corrections, down range velocity, down range energy and a multitude of other useful outputs.

QuickLOAD instantly calculates pressures and velocities based on thermodynamic modeling, NOT numbers crunched from loading manuals. Other programs can only place powders in general categories of burn rates and densities. No other ballistics software has the precise data for 270 individual powders. Accepts user defined data for user created wildcats. Accurate results for over 1500 cartridges, more than 270 powders and 2500 bullets. “QuickLOAD/QuickTARGET 3.9 is absolutely the best Interior/Exterior Ballistic Prediction Software in the world. Here is what has to say about QuickLOAD: QuickLOAD – An Amazing Software for Reloading and Much, Much More
