For hassle free load development, you need two aids, Quickload, and a ballistic chronograph.............if you can only afford one, get the chronograph.

QuickLoad is a great toy. Their own caveat is that the theoretical conclusion drawn from the program should be utilised in conjunction with published load data. As I found, the beauty of QuickLoad is once you’ve realised what it actually is, selling it on is very easy.

Yep, entertaining, but does not replace “books”....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

QuickLoad - £135 seems a bit steep. Are the updates to data free? I only ask because it seems they are charging for upgrades to their software.
I won't be touching Windows 10 ... ever. Does it work OK with Windows 7?

What's wrong with Windows 10?.........................apart from the fact that it will try to do your head in with upgrades render the machine useless for hours while it tries to install them, only to tell you that it can't install them after all, and is restoring your previous version..................

My Win 10 PC runs Quickload fine, it's just the automatic Windows updates that push it over.
I've managed to stop it now. It has to ask me before starting anything.

My laptop suffered constant blue screens until I realised that they were caused by Windows 10 updating the Dell hardware drivers.

I put in a registry hack to stop this, so now Windows just updates itself and leaves the hardware to me.

If you install Quickload on Windows 10 there's a bug which appears to prevent it completing but a quick Google will show how it's fixed.
