Thread: Gordons reloading tool

I taught myself to use it back when I had no clues at all about reloading. I still consider myself a beginner reloader and still use GRT look forward to see what updates they bring to the platform.

I looked at the old quickload at some point and put it in the too hard basket as i usually buy bulk projectiles so don't have to fiddle with loads very often but seeing as its free i thought i might have a look.
What input data does it need? and is it any good?

yep , i use it all the time . I understand it very well , and the results can be very accurate . I shoot 7mm prc
you will also need a way to measure velocity . Be pendantic about doing all that is nessary to get results . Meaning you will need to measure "fired " case volume , carefully weigh and measure projectiles , carefully seat projectiles and measure final cartridge overall length, knpw the twist in your rifle, no the barrell length , and rifle weight . basically a fair amount of careful measuremt of everything about what you are upto . the reward will be extremely reliable ammo.

LJPRMC,

I cannot seem to find any 7 PRC data in the files. I just started using this. Are you able to direct me to how to find the 7 PRC cartridge data files?

7mm PRC is too new to exist in GRT. GRT hasn't gotten an update in a long time now.

You can create it manually using the built in cartridge designer though. I've done this for a couple of wildcats. Someone has no doubt done this for 7mm PRC already and exported it to a file. If you can find that, you could import it to your copy of GRT.

Or have a look on the Discord channel, someone has probably already created & uploaded it.

In saying that, I tried using someone else's file for Magpro powder and got wildly different results than expected, so use with caution.
