Jeff..... the next thing you really need to do is get a chronograph. Then you will get some meaningful information out of quick load.
I was out shooting some 165 today with Hunter gunpowder and used Speers maxload with some deep curls in my 06.
My gut instinct told me that the loads were going to be pretty mild and the chronograph proved me on the money....those max loads where loafing along that 2695 FPS out of my 22 inch Tikka.....those max loads aren't even 50k pressure according to quickload.....NOW....I have a baseline to continue working up.
