Anyone have a program for load development

[Airgator0470]

I'm wanting to see if I can get some load data for the .30 Herret using bullets in the 125-130 gr range with Accurate #9 powder.

I have load data for this with other magnum handgun powders such as W-296, H110, and IMR-4227.

Accurate e-mailed me limited .30 Herret data but it only lists rifle powders such as 2200, 2230, and 1680, of course the 1680 can be used for large magnum guns such as the .500 S&W.

Does the program Quick Load allow for such estimating?

Bob, I don't know for certain but http://www.loaddata.com might be worth taking a look at. I have often found it pretty useful for help with load development.

Bob,
From what I have heard about quickload, it does a better job with bottlenecked rifle cartridges than pistol,I thought about it at one time for the things it would do as far as pressure curves with diffrent powders and projectiles, but never got it.

I would not mind kicking the tires on it.

Well... the .30HRT is a bottleneck cartridge and I am firing it in a rifle...lol.

Damn, I'd never seen the 30hrt before. That's freaking crazy. I'm glad I checked this post out. What's that round shoot comparably to, if you had to make a comparison?

That looks like a neat round. Any issues with neck thickness when cases are formed from 30-30?

The .30HRT is a wildcat... it's a 6.8SPC case formed in a .30 Herret die, trimmed to length, and then fire-formed. The result is a .30 cal AR15 round that is great for deer out to about .30-30 Win range limits. The .30HRT is comparable to the 7.62x39.

With the Nosler 125gr BT and W-296, I get about 2450 FPS. I've killed two nice 8-points with no problem.

From L to R... 7.62x39; .30HRT,. 5.56mm

Fucking neat-o!

Errr, you could always just go with the 300BLK.

Errr, you could always just go with the 300BLK.

I don't want to step backwards... FPS wise. I've not seen any 125gr data that approaches 2500 FPS... I'm at 2450 now with 125gr BT's.
