Beware QuickLoad

Brian Rothhammer · Nov 2, 2021

Here are images (swiped from the 'net) of Mannlicher Schoenauers that were purchased by John Huston before going to Africa for location shooting of The African Queen.

His daughter, Angelica, has a vacation house not far from where I now sit and if I ever run across her I might ask if she inherited / still owns them.

If you are interested I have the quick load 3.8 with the most recent archives of 2024 that I can give you

I finally got everything straightened out and it works fine. I was just frustrated with no customer service that could help me. I now have the latest version as well and no bugs!!!!

I had good luck working with Rene on QL and QD.
He even got the author of QL to respond regarding Swift bullets shot start pressure.

That is very interesting. The default shot start pressure for the A-Frames seem too high in QL, what did he have to say about it?

Ah…
I asked if calculations or measurement, and responded was sent to lab and measured.
They use thick, pure copper vs gliding.

so i use the QL shot start for aframes. cuts back on the velocity but oh well...
Drawn copper tensile strength is ~66kpsi and has huge bearing surface vs gilding metal ~32kpsi and
pure copper bullets have driving bands and much less surface.

Now that I have all the kinks out and it is working great for me, when using my chronograph I always notice the actual FPS are a little under QL which is fine given they want to be conservative for saftey. I always use QL to get me started then fine tune.
