This is a newer discovery of mine very similar to Quickloads but FREE !!!
For those who cant really afford Quickloads or want to check out the possibility of using a powder they CAN find this should help immensely .
Also for the beginer to SML you can quickly compare these figures to KNOWN Pressure Traces to help you get a handle on loads with safety . Velocity predictions as well are there . Its even DOWNLOADABLE !!! Tips , tricks and suggestions are there too . Just REALIZE WE MUST FIGURE ON 100% CAPACITY UNLIKE A CARTRIDGE .
This is pretty neat guys ENJOY !!!
Video is a hair over 18 minutes

Ok its time for a talk .
I just got off the phone with a friend . It seems a New to SML guy contacted him about loads . With visions of 22-250 speeds shooting 350+ gr bullets from his new 45 with a smaller shank barrel . SOUND FAMILIAR ??
Coming from the smoker world this guy has never HAD to really Worry about Pressures Before . Black or subs really dont produce HIGH PRESSURES for the most part and load deveopment would jump 5 , 10 , or more grains or not at all right up to MAX LOAD WITH WHATEVER WEIGHT BULLET FROM THE START FIRST SHOT LETS GO.... .
Guys if this is you THAT MINDSET WILL KILL YOU HERE IN SML LAND . Straight up Pure and Simple .
This is why Newbies find Loads hard to get advice for . THOSE OLD SMOKER MINDSET DAYS ARE GONE . Nearly everything about them is HISTORY for Today in SML LAND . You cannot think like this anymore . PERIOD !!! Dont be thinking i want just a little more speed with this powder when youre already at the safe limits and decide a few more grains cant hurt -- THATS STUPID .
A Good place with pressure is to stay BELOW 45,000 PSI .
Its BEST to NOT be tip toeing around the edge of the cliff either BLINDFOLDED BY ZEAL .
Huh ?? If your new truck has a 6,500 rpm redline dont be driveing around at 6,499 rpm and think life is dandy !!! Make sense now ?? Or a quick flash up to 7,500 rpm cant hurt that bad . IT MATTERS . YOU SCARE THE HELL OUTA US WITH CAN HE BE TRUSTED !!!
Much about SML in particular is a Developing experimental form of shooting . YOU Control the SAFETY of this experiment Primarily .
SOME PRESSURE TRACES ARE THERE AND SAFE . SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS FOR YOU . Some DONT APPLY FOR YOUR GUN . WATCH THIS !!!
There is Nothing Wrong with REALIZEING the recoil signature of a big bullet going fast will kick your brains out either . Many milder loads Easily rival a 338 magnums preformance for most guys comparibly .
This idea/goal of GORDONS RELOADING TOOL Can help All of us with practice and Insight governed with Common Sense . IT IS NOT THE COMPLETE HOLY GRAIL ANSWER BUT A GUIDE . If a Available Trace Says Pressure Will Be Higher BELIEVE THE TRACE ALWAYS !!!
I wish you ALL well in your shooting and SAFETY .
I Posted this to help and believe it could .
Be consevative . Be thourough .
Be SAFE . Check each change made Especially bullet weight COMPLETELY BEFOREHAND . ALL SMOKELESS POWDERS ARE NOT THE SAME . Barrel Contour Size Diameters Matters . CALIBER MATTERS . IGNITION SYSTEMS MATTER . Even the tempature outside affects the powders/loads pressure . MOST EVERYTHING CAN EFFECT PRESSURES .
SML is Thinking mans shooting as i call it . Its a good idea to see it that way .
Have fun and Good Luck
