It takes just a few minutes to weigh a few bullets for average, and the same to measure. Ditto for water capacity.

A cheap electronic scale helps with that quite a bit.

I bet if you bought it and started to experiment with it, you'd like it.

But it does not replace good, published data.

What led me to use it was experimenting with extended seating of heavier bullets in the .44 mag, to take advantage of the longer cylinder lengths in my SuperRedhawk, Redhawk, and SuperBlackhawk. I didn't want to exceed SAAMI pressure.

After a baseline run for burn rate on powder, I was able to find reasonable loads using VV N110 and W296.

I've had several predictions come very close, the closest being a .30-06 load with AA2495, QL said 2836 fps, Oehler 35 said 2838 fps.
