ApexLOAD PRO <<

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-independent, and online-available system that works in all common browsers and on all devices.

With our "Personalized Load Calculator" on xxlreloading.com , we already fulfill most of the desired requirements. However, some functions—such as graphical pressure gradients—cannot be implemented there for technical reasons. To offer these features nonetheless, we had to implement them using the same data, powder models, and simulation algorithms, but in a separate system. With this in mind, we developed ApexLOAD PRO . The site requires a separate user account and its own access license—unfortunately, there was no other way to implement it technically. ApexLOAD PRO is primarily aimed at experienced reloaders who are already familiar with their components and want to perform particularly detailed calculations to optimize their loads.

Anyone who wants to test ApexLOAD PRO can register and create a user account. Each user initially receives 5 free calculations. After that, a license is required.

Existing xxlreloading.com members with an active xxlreloading.com license will be automatically recognized and receive a 50% discount on their first year. This provides ample time to decide whether xxlreloading.com remains their preferred platform – or whether apexload.pro better suits their individual needs. Here's a snapshot of the new program:

Why We Do Not Offer Load Data for Highly Compressed Loads

Why We Do Not Offer Load Data for Highly Compressed Loads

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 ballistics models to...

Update regarding ApexLOAD PRO

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, we have expanded...
