    To save modifying an existing powder on-screen each time you could consider updating the powder data file with an extra line for this powder and additional lines for any new powders you may care to add.

    The powder parameters in my copy are stored here: QuickLOAD/data/powders/qloadfw.pro and can be modified with a text editor.

    I prefer to create a copy and give it a new file name such as qloadfw-updated.pro and leave the original alone as a backup. Any additional .pro files stored in this same location with the original can be selected via the "load a powder file" option under the Propellant data menu.

    By adding a new line for CFE223 in amongst the other Hodgdon powders at an appropriate burn-rate position, the numbers from @zimmer's screen shot can be copied in. This is the only slightly tricky bit....figuring out the equivalency of the numbers on the screen and the correct position in the powder's text line, and getting the syntax exactly right.
