Although QL does have problems predicting the internal ballistics for straight cases like the Lott, 80 grains is pretty Hot, you may want to think about that one for a while.

By no means take this as a fact without research and testing but S 321 produces about the same energy with less pressure.

Just one more thought.

On the QL graph:

Yellow means you are in a comfortable pressure zone.

Purple means you’re tickling the dragon’s tail.

Red means you’re flirting with disaster. Wink

Mick thank you very, very much! Could you please run it with S355 as well?

Thanks

I feel more comfortable with S 355.
