Buy the software like the other folks have to, otherwise the firm will cease to make a profit to stay in business.

.... or download GRT. It is free

Or how about read a reloading manual and work up a load like the old days?

Now sorted.
Thanks

TBF i haven't used quickload and quick target for many years now . These things are still best done on the range with your individual rifle , a start load , at the best Barnes should have start and stop loads for a few similar bullets online (as a start load it doesn't need to be the exact bullet " near enough is fine" as its just a start point . Really you cannot build a load from what the PC thinks . This is true of all data compiled by computers.
A chronograph , your materials , rifle and a good rest and a 12 o'clock of 6 o'clock light wind .
IF YOU ARE BRAND NEW TO RELOADING get help from an experienced person near to you.
I have personally not done well with the varmint grenade in a few different calibres but you might have better luck . Put your location up its good to have experienced hands when first starting loading
