Safety Notes & Warnings
The algorithms and data implemented in this program for the calculation/simulation of the burn-up behaviour are developed and tested with the greatest care, but are based on data and physical equations which for practical reasons contain theoretical assumptions as well as average values and approximations from empirical measurements.
Not every gun or component is the same! The components, from the chamber, barrel, case, bullet to the propellant powder vary from gun to gun and manufacturer and date of manufacture (lot). The results can therefore deviate greatly from the real conditions existing with them.
Compare the results with tested loading tables and/or manufacturer's recommendations. In case of doubt, e.g. if loading tables, manufacturer's specifications and simulation calculations all differ, you should have your hand-loaded ammunition tested by a institute!
- Check used dimensions, volumes and quantities
- Mark hand-loaded ammunition with sufficient information.
- Avoid confusion
- Do not use loading data of other reloaders unchecked
- Compare with loading boards and manufacturer's specifications
- Do not use hand-loaded ammunition in weapons for which the manufacturer refuses to do so, or which provide inadequate safety features and/or do not fully support the cartridge in the chamber. For example, there are guns where, in the event of failure, the breech can be blown back towards the face of the shooter (e.g. certain straight-pull rifles), causing serious injury to the shooter or bystanders!
