Loads

A load records a handload recipe and its measured performance — components, charge weight, seating depth, and velocity tests.

Managing loads

• Loads (drawer → Configuration) lists your loads; tap to edit.
• A load records the components (case, primer, powder, projectile), the charge weight and seating details.

Velocity tests

Each load can hold one or more tests — a string of chronographed shots:

• Enter velocities by hand, or import them from a chronograph export file (see Importing Data); imported shots route straight into a load test.
• Tests produce the usual string statistics (average, extreme spread, standard deviation).

Muzzle velocity vs temperature

Powder burns faster when it’s warm. The rifle profile carries an MV/temperature table — measured muzzle velocities at different ammo temperatures — and your load tests are its natural source:

• Seed the table from tests logged across seasons: each test offers its average velocity at the temperature it was shot in.
• With two or more points in the table, the solver interpolates the muzzle velocity for the current Ammo Temp set on the location’s atmosphere panel.
• The Quick Settings widget lets you tweak powder temperature on the fly to see the effect.
