You can set your specifications in the "Personalized Load Calculator".

Go to the bottom of the "Dashboard " page to set the measure system (imperial vs. metric)
Muzzle velocity vs. barrel length
Every 1 inch additional barrel length increases muzzle velocity by approx. 27.1 fps

C.O.L. (mm)
We recommend you limit powder range to relevant brands to speed up re-calculation of results
Use the Personalized Load Calculator to customize loads to your own specific requirements. Find more details in the help section.

Our default view only displays powders/loads that fulfill certain criteria: Max pressure of a load <=90% of Max. Standardized Pressure. Fill Rate (Min FR): >80% and <100% for rife loads, >60% and <100% for pistol loads. Min. Propellant Combustion (Min z): >90% for rifle loads , >80% for pistol/revolver loads. Relax these criteria at your own risk to potentially get more powders shown in the load tables.
