I'll second that observation, ants. I'd buy it now, but I just snagged that 624 as an "impulse buy."

DWFan :Is there a version of Quickload that works in Linux?
If not, you can always try using it in Wine. I've used Wine to play a few of my old windows games. The most recent I've tried Wine with are XP games and they work great. Wine should be in the repository.

Excellent! That is enough excuse to update, since I skipped 3.5. Thanks!

I agree, this thread has been very informative, thank you to everyone who took the time to explain the program...

My version of wine is griping about MSVBVM50.DLL. No luck yet. I'm sure it can be made to run though. My v. of wine is very old as it's on my fileserver and i can't be bothered to upgrade and lose my 500000 scripts that my network depends on. (lazy).
YMMV
EDIT: Copied in the DLL and now Quickload (under wine) is saying installation not complete. Restart installation from disk. Registry dependencies ?
Maybe someone with newer wine and distro can try. I'm way back in 2005

DWFan,
No, there is no Linux version and I highly doubt there ever will be. QuickLOAD is a niche product with a very small market. The number of potential windows users is quite small and I imagine the potential pool of Linux QuickLOAD users is infinitesimally small at least from a business perspective.
sonick808,
I don't have QuickLOAD but I do have the demo version which is a crippled version of 3.2. So, it's not exactly the latest version. I also have the latest developer version of wine (1.1.42) and I'm able to install and (apparently) run QuickLOAD just fine. I haven't tested that every feature works without crashing and I won't be able to since many of the features are disabled in the demo. But it does install and appear to behave just fine under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with Wine 1.1.42.

Can you steer me in the right direction to download the demo so I can check it out before I decide to buy it or not...

azar: good to know, thanks. I'm going to run an strace and watch the whole exec stack and see what happens; should reveal what it's looking for. But first, I'm going to install a new distro on a spare box and try it there. If the registered version still fails, I'll run the stack traces.....
ArchAngelCD,
It's right on the QuickLOAD page on the left hand side. Look right down under the QuickLOAD logo. It says "Click to download NEW QuickLoad Ballistics Demo". They are now on version 3.6 and the demo still claims 3.2. I don't know if the program has changed significantly in those releases or if it's mostly updated data.

No 700x, no 800x, no WST and no WSF.
No trailboss either (or sr4756).

I'm trying to find info for a .458 SOCOM. Internet stuff is really scarce. Does the program give capacities of standard Starline cases or enough info to give starting loads??
I saw that Lil'Gun is supposed to give excellent velocities, but the link on the thread required a paid subscription. If I'm gonna do that, I'll maybe buy Quickload instead.

458 Socom is in Quickload. It looks like 34 grains of lil gun would be a god starting point for 350 grain bullets. It shows that is 1778 fps. For 500 grain it is 23 grains for 1317 fps. I used a 20" barrel. These are about 15% below max pressure.
It also shows that R10, ADI AR2207, and H322 outperform lil gun by about 40 fps.

One of the neat features is you can have it give you a run of what all of the powders would do to achieve the same pressure as your current load. So if you take the load above you can get a report of what all of the other powders would do to the same pressure level. Neat feature.

OK, so I'm going to use this for deer hunting. I really don't care so much about bullet weight. I'm thinking most any bullet launched at close to 2,000 fps will whack Bambi quite well. My goal is the flattest shooting (fastest) round I can get.
Does it list available bullet weights and corresponding velocity/drop?
I've got AA 1680, Benchmark, and RL 10 on hand. My thought is, that if those powders beat Lil'gun, I could maybe use RL-10 with 325's and approach 2,000 fps.
All the input is much appreciated. The more you guys talk about this, the more I'm thinking this program is in my future.

Does the latest version have RL17?

I absolutely love the software.
Redneck2: the software comes with Quick Target (mine did, but got the original version a LONG time ago), you can pull your load data and gun data from Quick Load into Quick Target and see what the trajectory is.....bullet drop, bullet drop with various zero distances....heck, you can even imput optic info and it will tell you how many clicks you need to adjust for various ranges......While it still takes real world testing, it gets you really close.
I am currently using Quickload to help me figure out some far from traditional loads. I am loading heavy 308 projectiles in a pistol cartridge for subsonic shooting....and trying to find a load that will also cycle the semi auto rifle. So I am loving the aspect of quickload that will let you see the pressure at various points in the barrel. up to this point, I have always shot commercial of surplus ammo so do not really know what pressures I need at my gas port to make this thing cycle.....once I find a load that just runs it, I can go back into quickload and see what the pressure is at that point in the barrel, and that is my magic number. After that, any future loads, I will just check and make sure my pressures at the port are atleast that amount.
There is NO published data for what I am doing. there are a couple of others out there doing the same thing with the same cartridge.
