RCBS.Load Program - Any Wildcatter Experiences

I was hoping to see if anyone has had any experience with RCBS.Load as a cartridge design program for Wildcatters.

If not, does anyone have any other program experiences that assist with cartridge design?

  1988z01,
  
  I played with the RCBS Load program quite a while ago and found it to be too limited for my needs. But that doesn't mean that it won't work for you.
  
  In the past when I started working with QuickLoad/QuickTarget I found that the author had written a design program that would handle all the variables I wanted to work with as well as perform many of the calculations I needed without resorting to reams of paper or having to relive some of my advanced math classes.
  
  QuickDesign is stand alone but is written to be used in conjunction with QuickLoad/QuickTarget.

  Yes, it's expensive when compared to most of the simple programs available to the public but it will outshine everything else on the market today.
  
  Best.

  I am using RCBS.Load(2.88 version) for wildcatting in my case designs, in the tool section it has a case designer section of over 400+ cases, you can change any cases dimensions to whatever spec's you desire, find the approximate case capacity of your designed case and then transfer this info to Quick Load and see the results of the different powder/bullet combo's.
  
  I am in the process of getting the new 4.0 RCBS.Load software as soon as I can find out who is carry it.
  
  Quickload also has a case designer section that you can change the spec's of an OEM case to any wildcat form you want, and can then see possible results for any powder/bullet load data.
  
  Both programs are kinda expensive, but worth it IMHO. YMMV
