D'ya reckon that asking the same question three times will substantially enhance the probability that you'll get some good leads?


"Good enough" isn't.

I have been looking for reloading software for mac too.

so far the software called "load from a disk" seems best option.

I would actually like to ask others opinions of "load from a disk" and how it compares to other ballistic software


1. I now see the wisdom and merits of much older generations.
2. Technology makes things cheaper, easier, and less labor intensive, but not necessarily better.

I got an email from "load from a disk" and it said that I would need to use the mac boot camp to run windows and then run "load from a disk" through windows.

I'm sitting here at my 'reloading desk' typing on a reserected Sony Viao since I have been unable to find any reloading program that will run under OSX...its painful to be back suffering the windows interface on a lousy keyboard and screen but until someone comes up with the Mac version(s) my Macbook Pro is of no use and this is it.

Guess I could always start buying the 'books' :-)

I thought that the new Macs would run Windows software.

Sure they will, but its a PIA if you are using 'bootcamp'...you have to shut down the 'puter, and 're-boot' under the windows OS. Plus you have to buy the windows OS of course, and install it, and maintain it, ( like a dozen updates daily it seems...),

If you use 'VMWare', ( virtual machine ) you can have the win OS as an app sitting in your dock but it still takes a few minutes to load the OS unless you keep it running in the background all the time which uses a LOT of the 'puter's resources, ALL the time.

So for now I have the little old Sony Viao sitting on my reloading bench, with a pair of special glasses to see the small font on the lousy screen :-).

I'm running Parallels on my MAC. It's not as slow as what you would think but it does tie up resources. I refuse to do Bootcamp, that would drive me nuts rebooting all the time.
