Hi Eric,
Oh yes but they do include Norma's powder. I did check that before I bought the program.
I have found out how it works. When you are building your load it will come up with typically 5-10 different powders that the program find optimal. You can then choose one of them at it will calculate the "optimal" load. This I find very useful when I have to figure out where to start my test load (and yes I could just look it up at one of the many sites like http://www.reloadersnest.com. For some reason LFAD just did not see Norma 202 as optimal for the load I tried to key into it - or any othe powders from Norma for that matter. I am sure that there still is some value in your point as I have a feeling that LFAD knows less about Norma powder than American powders, but it is just a feeling and time will have tell if it is right or completely off.
