Hard to narrow it down to only one!
� In general, I love the "what if � ?" aspect � which allows me to simulate and compare any number of cartridges, loads, powders, bullets, etc, at some leisure, without having to spend time and money on junk that in the end doesn't do as well as I'd like. Running all the abstruse calculus equations by hand or calculator � even if I knew 'em well enough � would take days or even months to do what QuickLOAD does accurately in a fraction of a second.
� Specifically, I like to start with the feature that runs all the plugged-in numbers and predicts which powders are most likely to be "optimum" for the specified criteria. (I like to specify 50,000 lb/sq in. maximum pressure and 90�100% case fill. It's interesting to note that the optimum powders are usually slower than what you'd expect.)
What's your favorite feature of QuickLOAD? ( � or features, if you're as wishy-washy as I am � )
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

i like having the ability to hatch a load with ANY powder. i try to do most of my rifle loading with just a few powders so i don't have to try to source a bunch of different powders.
the 'optimum powder' feature is sweet too.
Guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones kill people.

You took the two best reasons in your post. If i had to choose one of those two it would be the ability to predict the "optimum" powders.

My favorite feature is the weighting factor that allows one to tweak loads to a specific rifle.
When a column of troops under Lt. Col. Francis Smith moved into the countryside to collect arms and munitions gathered by the patriot militia, hostilities erupted at Lexington and Concord on Apr. 19, 1775.

There are several features (already mentioned) that make it worth every penny that I paid for it.
