Jay Andrew, does quick load allow for pistol cartridges and long barrels? i have a silly idea of building a 357 sig carbine, with a 16" barrel and was trying to figure out if it was worth my time or not? if you see this and have the time i would like to use 124gr xtps but just some general information form quick load would be awsome maybe a comparison between 10.5" and 16"? who knows why i think these things! thanks a bunch!

[Jay Andrew]

Yes it does...I run “What Ifs” all the time on QuickLOAD.

Post the load information and I will run it for you!

awesome, so if you can, run 357 sig using both a 16" and 10.5" barrels using 124gr hornady xtp and the 147gr xtp. COAL at 1.140 inches barrel twist is a 1-10 i believe. i want to compare it to other data sourced to see if it would compare to something like 357 mag out of a lever gun. just currious. Thank you for your time, and i will make sure to give the website a through digging through later this evening!

Gotcha, well here are the suggested powders and loads for a 124gr XTP out of a 16in barrel

If you'd like a good read on using QuickLOAD for load development, here's a write I did on comparing QuickLOAD to real world results.

Jay, do you know if QuickLOAD has .22 Creedmoor data yet?

[Jay Andrew]

Thanks for sharing those results.

I’ve seen that with QuickLOAD sometimes it will overestimate the velocity, sometimes by quite a bit, especially when dealing with light for caliber loads.

When I get a chance I’ll double check the barrel length to make sure I didn’t make a mistake, that would have the largest impact on muzzle velocity.

This is a good illustration as to why QuickLOAD can be a useful tool, but it’s always important to use it in tandem with Chronographs.


As of the 2019 update disk, I don’t have 22 Creedmoor listed.
