What are you trying to say....Yes I am fully aware of the capabilities of Quickload. I have my 284 and my two 6.5s fully "quickloaded". Still to get my 6mmBR and 308 done
And if you use and understand Quickload what it tells you is the %age powder burned in you barrel length. It is flame that might damage you muzzle. If you read Litz he will tell you the muzzle pressure almost instantaneously drops to zero when the bullet exits so I don't think muzzle pressure will be the crown burning culprit more likely flame erosion. At any rate enough of semantics, I have yet to see a burnt crown.
