Avid reloader here... to do what specifically? Track your own loads or for industry load data?

I’m not sure that I would trust such data from the internet. I’d as soon stick with my tried and true manuals.

Man, I must be old. I still use my books from the 1970's. How tough can it be, try a load, see how it shoots. make a little check mark by the ones you like. Use a scrap of paper to make a note or two if needed.

Most loads shoot better than I can so if it's within a quarter at 100yds good enough for me. I have 1 gun and 1 load I can get inside a dime usually. The rest are inside a 50 cent piece. Pistols are a little different. The powder and bullet makes huge differences. My 30.06 likes slower powders and heavier BT bullets. My .308 likes quicker powered with 150grn or 130grn bullets.

I can't imagine software that would be able to guess what each rifle would like more than others. Barrel length, bullet weight, even bullet seating all has to be custom fit, IMO. One barrel with one twist against an identical barrel with a different twist makes a difference.

Besides, I reload for fun. The fun part is trying different loads to find the special one my gun likes. I'm not sure a computer could suggest a common load that would work with each situation.

I’ve been reloading since I was 15. That was a long time ago. Never used any kind of software. Ever.

Go to the manufacturer’s website of whatever powder that you are using and they’ll have all the loading info.

Do you just plain like firearms? Or do you support the American 2nd Amendment in principle? If so, do check out this BOLD new website before they censor it: https://GunDynamics.com
