It does sound hot. I use about 55 grains with a 130 and rem brass.
74866 psi 107.4% full, so rather you than me. Nosler 16323 OAL 3.340
48 grains is a safe 44315 psi allegedly.
Pmax is 62366
It is a computer program, not real of course.

Quickload needs to be calibrated to even get semi-accurate information and a chronograph is needed for this. You have to adjust the burn rate until your Quickload velocities match your chronograph velocity. And you do this on top of case capacity, OAL, bullet type,etc.
NB Rifles, there is "NO WAY" to get accurate information without a chronograph and anyone asking for Quickload information is looking for trouble thinking that the information you gave will result in accurate load data. (garbage in, garbage out)

WARNING, QuickLOAD is a computer simulation of centerfire cartridge performance. YOU MUST NEVER just “plug in the numbers” and use QuickLOAD’s output for a load recipe. That is foolish and dangerous. There are many reasons why the data QuickLOAD generates may not be safe in YOUR gun. Before loading live ammunition, you should always check with the powder-makers’ most recent load data. In fact, you should check multiple sources if possible, and consult with individuals who actually load for that cartridge. Sierra Bullets offers free load maps which, in general, are fairly conservative. Even when using manufacturers’ load data, start 10% low and work up. Differences in brass, primer brand, and seating depth can make huge differences in pressure. Always reload conservatively and always double- and triple-check QuickLOAD’s output against reliable load data supplied by the powder-makers.
