I do not know of one single individual QL in the Grendel or ARC worlds that has got good data out of it. You will waste lots of time and $$$ chasing your tail. You would be better off educating yourself on proper load development, and time and money ahead. As I have stated before I have used Honady load data as a base load for all my ARC load development and have had zero problems. I have had more problems with Honady factory loads than my own loads. I have been working this platform since it was released. My first rifle was on the range 2 weeks after the release. I now have 4 rifles in different configuration and have worked with 7 different platforms of it. Me and my son have been at this since the beginning.
Proper education and knowledge will be your friend in this adventure. Believe me you can be smarter than a computer program or App. Every gun will give you different results, something QL will never be able to calculate.
Thanks. I'm not really using QuickLoad. I just purchased it and am looking at it to see if it would be an additional tool for helping with predictions especially with pressure. I would never solely trust it to develop loads.
As I understand it 6mm ARC in AR15 is limited by pressure that the bolt can safely handle. So if I'm are seeing pressure signs on brass I am probably over pressure for the bolt. Those pressures would be fine for the brass and for bolt action rifles. So simply identifying pressure signs on brass isn't as reliable for AR15 to make judgements on how safe my 6mm ARC loads are.
Are you loading for AR15 also?
