I’m loading a new caliber, 7mm-08 (I just picked up a Savage 510 Striker pistol with 5 barrels/calibers. I currently only load one of those so I’ll get a chance to give GRT some use). I entered data into QL and GRT so I can compare when I chrono it. GRT is a little different in how you enter data but I do like it, I just need to get more familiar with it. I went ahead and supported them on Patreon just to help them get it developed.Beiruty wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 7:35 am I just signed for $1/month Patreon membership. As thank you, I got a latest nightly update with not only case diagrams but CIP/SAAMI Chambering diagrams. Plus, your calibrated powder charge/MV values can be shared (uploaded) to GR-LAB in one click.
The App is 10X more actively being developed than QL. In less than a year we got like so many cool features.
It has OBT Calculator auto-load optimizer
Shot Group Image processor
Finding best powder based on your parameters
Burn Speed Chart among all powder in the DB
Black Powder Assistant
Ladder charge Charting
Case and Childbearing dimensions
Of course, Case/Bullet/Powder DB.
What I did not like about QL, is lack of updates

Re: GRT - Gordon's Reloading Tool
What’s your reasoning? Do you not like QL or do you just like a free alternative?Beiruty wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 3:30 pmI want the GRT to surpass the QLSigSour wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 11:06 am For some reason, internal ballistics programs don't seem to be as popular in the US as Germany. I use QuickLOAD and find it a very useful tool. Gordon's Reloading Tool (GRT) is in the early stages of development but I like the interface better than QL. It has a lot of promise. What they need now is more data (brass, bullet geometries and muzzle velocities. Pressure trace data if you have it) especially on US powders to refine/develop their models.
Go check out their website.
I want it to be more accurate in predicting MV and Barrel time.
I want to be Beta Tester
I want to be data provider if I can (MV and load info)
