Reloading Academy & Blog

In recent months we have increasingly received requests for load data with fill rates of 105–120% , meaning loads where the powder charge is physically compressed inside the case . While compressed loads are not uncommon in certain cartridges, we intentionally do not provide load data beyond a defined fill rate range . The reason for this is primarily related to model reliability and safety . The Challenge of Modeling Compressed Loads Our load data relies on internal ballisti

We launched and introduced our new website ApexLOAD PRO  on December 3rd, 2025 (see full article here ). At its heart, ApexLOAD PRO is an advanced ballistics calculator  that enables you to calculate an almost unlimited number of load recipes from virtually any combination of caliber, bullet, and powder. Instead of relying solely on static load tables, the platform allows reloaders to model and refine loads based on their specific firearm and component setup. Since launch, w

In recent years, many users have expressed a desire for us to develop a program comparable to the previously widespread QuickLOAD or the Gordon Reloading Tool (GRT). Both applications were heavily used by reloaders, but neither currently maintains or updates bullet, powder, or caliber data. QuickLOAD could only be installed and used on Windows computers with a CD drive. GRT also requires local installation on a Windows PC. However, many users want a modern, platform-independe
