What I say is that the QL data, compared to the VV data, are extremely high in chamber pressure. I did use the same components for a .44 Special load as in the data sheet: 8.3 grs VV N340, Hornady 200 grs XTP, OAL 37,5 millimeters, Remington cases.
I know that QL only estimates pressure, because it can't draw into account every circumstance responsible for pressure like case capacity etc. But I am seriously confused that this estimated chamber pressure should be so different in level from what the facory data implies: QL gives me 19700 psi as a chamber pressure, which is about 33% too high. So I haven't fired this load yet, for security reasons. I can't imagine that VV will publish reloading data that was way too high, so maybe QL gets it's data by looking into a crystal ball?
Please excuse me if I should write some kind of imprecise, I'm no native english speaker, I'm german.
