Good going...

Disagree i think its more of a cant be fucked because you give a long in depth answer and someone will just rip it apart anyway.

He is talking about quickload not a ballistic's program so right from the get go they on a different page

Back to the op

In theory yes but not always the case especially when using heavy for caliber bullets as the fast burning will pressure spike a lot sooner.
You will find barrel to barrel difference to be a big factor aswel

Example my old t3 20" remmag using 2225 was running almost as fast as 2 mates with standard 24" barrel t3's i think was about 15fps in it
