    Questions regarding the load data: Please read the information in the next tab "Explanations".

  • 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.
