Oh, it will do more than that. it will rank all the powders in its database by velocity performance. I don't know Hounddawgs actual as-fired case water overflow capacity or which 105 grain Berger he is using, but with the VLD the program thinks Reloader 17 compressed 105% is the velocity king, followed by CFE223 for an uncompressed load (93.6%). It shows they burn 100% and 99%, respectively, in the long barrel. This is running at top pressure.
