A comparison QL results and published data (notably Hodgdon's) can show significant differences in pressure with the same loads. That said however, the ability to see the effect of changes in seating depth, barrel length and the pressure difference of the same bullet weight between manufacturers is quite valuable. I also find the predicted velocities to be within a reasonable range -- probably subject to the tolerances of individual rifles.Your words of caution ring true and are appreciated. Given that I will eventually go down the path of developing custom loads, or using other's recipes, I can see the intrinsic value of QL. As with anything complex and potentially lethal, caution is warranted. Your words are wise. Thank you, sir.
