Thread: Stupid Question. bare with me please

I haven't worked out how to print my QL data and post it here. I think once you guys understand what I'm doing you will be find it interesting. QL is the back bone of the solution. I could not get the low ES I do with out it. Or maybe I could if I was prepared to buy 1 of each powder and test it.

The right powder will have 100% case fill and 100% burn. Using QL alone I have had crazy first test load results. Its a good tool. I'm trying to be respectful here but some of the stuff I'm reading is a bit unfortunate.

That said without QL using your powder of choice and assuming it is not too slow for the projectile you can sneak up your pressure till the ES settles down. If the powder is too slow it will go over pressure before your ES settles. If it is too fast it wont settle. your ES will be shit and stay shit. QL nails that calculation every time!! A fair amount of experience would be needed to do this safely.

My WSM posted a 3 shot ES of 1.4 and an SD of .06. Garmin Chrony, Over 15 shot preceding it was ES 6. My .284 is also ES 8 over 10 or more shots I can't remember the total now. My system works.
