Gordons reloading tool

That is probably becaus the creator has passed away and there will be no more updates.
The announcement is on the website:

Important announcement​

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that my husband Gordon passed away on January 19th 2022.

Until further notice, this site stays online. Please note that Patreon contributions have been paused.

Initially, no additional submissions should be made to the GRTLab, or Translations, as no one has access to service the data.
Therefore, it will be impossible to update Powder Models, Calibers, and Bullet to the GRT database as an official release until the possibilities of continuing Gordon's fine work are explored.


Take care!
Chrissi
 
I know Gordon sadly passed away, and the program had a self destruct, however someone did take it on, perhaps it was more to take on than they thought, shame, it was a very good resource
 
Mine is still working ok. I found Gordons reloading tool unfortunately just after its creators passing. But my understanding was that at that time, they released a copy that had no end date so the software would keep working. The only down side being that this version wouldn't update powder or projectile data.
In the top right corner at the end of the toolbar, mine shows PATREON NIGHTLY as the version.
It is a great resource and if you true your loads over different temperature ranges, i've found it makes it more accurate when changing projectiles but still using the same powder.
 
I just wanted to reach out and let you know that my husband Gordon passed away on January 19th 2022.

May I just offer my condolences (belated as they are) for the loss of your husband.

I never used GRT, but know many who did, and who were all very grateful for it.
 
***Cautionary update***

The GRT app runs on linux but requires 32bit GTK support.

The latest version of Debian-based linux distros have started to drop 32bit support. E.g. GRT now cannot run on Debian Trixie.

Debian Bookworm has 32bit support in the kernel for apps like GRT and that distro remains in support to June 2026.
