Here's a QL run on 180 Hornaday HAP with factory load data added and some powders missing from QL.
The fill ratio and the % burned is very helpful. The list is in Velocity order.
QL is higher and lower in some cases. Ql thinks all of these are "Dangerous" pressure except Herco.

Thanks for that layout it is a very detailed comparison. need one for the various bullet weights...  8)  ;D

Quickload is as good as internal ballistic software gets, but still not very useful for handgun rounds. For rifle rounds the simulation is ridiculously accurate.

It does better with bottleneck cases. I use it for 7.62x25 Tokarev and the velocity numbers match up closely with real world chronograph results which is good because load data is next to impossible to find for this cartridge, but it's next to useless with certain cartridges such as 357 Magnum.

Funny thing is I have gotten back into rifle shooting and hunting again, so I am looking at QL again for that purpose...  Man, this reloading/handloading thing sure saves money - haha!

Guess I've had a little better luck with predicting velocity out of straight walled cases, that's if I don't include any #7 low charges or ANY #9 load.
