Also according to several users (I myself use the GRT tool, which is free), QL is difficult to set up for accurate modeling of these shorter, fatter cartridges, like Grendel and 6 Arc.
I find I have to first calibrate the model by trying to duplicate mfr load data, then re-calibrate again when I get some chrono data on my own barrel.
If you do not have a chrony, I would heartily recommend to get one. Personally I like the magnetospeed the best as it is easy to set up and portable, and doesn't require a cold firing line so you can do setup 15-20 ft downrange. Cheaper than the lab-radar outfits. But any chrony you can get will be a help.
Just ordered some CFE223 to try.
My Quickload data keeps comming back with both of those powders, But highly recomends Reloader Swiss Blends of powder.
However Currently there is unlikly to be a delivery of Any RS powders in 2023.
Which has put a strain on the already suffering powders supply in the UK.
Currently in the stores there is Zero Powder & Zero Primers & Very Very low stocks of bullets.
So out of the top 5 Powders Quickload recomends CFE223 is the only one currently in stock.
( which afger tonight, the very low stock of CFE will Zero too
)I do own a Magneto speed V3, Very nice bit of kit.
And for the first time i am going to try Mr Newberrys OCW loading, Always used ladder before and managed to find good loads, but where allways very fussy and had to be dead on CBTO lenght to shoot nice.
