QuickLoad Ver 3.9 Update - Powders

[JohndeFresno]

The update is listed at Necco for around 15 bucks as I recall, but after shipping costs the real price for the update disc is about $25.00, if you have a fairly current version that allows you the update price.

Here is the latest listing of powders covered in QuickLoad - Click on my archive server:

Thanks for the info John. That saves me $25 -- they aren't adding any of the new(ish) powders I have been using for several years such as LVR and Alliant's wide-ranging batch of ball powders. The only thing I see that I know to be a new addition is the IMR "Enduron" series of powders and Alliant's RL 16 and 26. Kinda' nice, but I don't want a few of the new powders in an upgrade -- I want all the new powders.

Always glad to be of help, Earl.

Bear in mind if and when you upgrade, you need to keep a backup of the old system.

For one thing, I have to change back all of the gun categories that I have entered, because it resets to the 4 or 5 sample rifles that come with the program.

And then there are several corrections I have made in bullet lengths for their bullet file. I keep a spreadsheet of those changes.

This is awful nice of you to post this !!! I have version 3.9,do you know just what powders this adds to this?

[JohndeFresno]

Mlton,
I don't have a list of updates; I merely make a file from the actual tables, and there are a lot of them.

But you can make a comparison if you wish from the previous Version 3.8 listing that I posted earlier:

Thank you! I will take a look at the list after Christmans!

Milton and Earl (and whoever else uses QuickLoad),

It seems that the bullet files were expanded, but the powders are apparently unchanged between 3.8 and 3.9 - at a glance. I use QuickLoad extensively so it was worth $25 for the update, to me.

I did not keep all the revisions on my computer tables, although I have the installation discs which I don't have time to check at the moment - Christmas Eve, and other items right now.

But here is a comparison pdf file, single column each, between the powders offered December 2014 (266 powders) and December 2016 (latest data, 295 powders) -
