So... this might be something a little different. Maybe, maybe not.
I've been historically *terrible* about planning ahead, other than for my main competition guns. Everything else... has been very 'ad-hoc', and that's probably being generous. That results with me having a number of guns that *don't* have loads ready, which is a bit of a bummer - and something I'm working on.
Once upon a time, long, long ago... I remember reading a reloading book (for those old enough to remember those!) where one of the pics showed the author planning things out on a calendar, like these stages/steps of brass prep on this evening, more steps this other evening, etc. etc. etc. range trip on this specific date i.e. Saturday afternoon, etc. These days, the book probably would have had a freakin' Gantt chart, but this was back in the time of day planners and such
At the time, I considered that way too over-the-top detailed and/or rigid. I was more 'go with the flow, man' in my approach, feeling that it afforded me more flexibility to pivot with unexpected developments and/or time opportunities that popped up. Nowadays... I dunno. A little more regimented plan / schedule is starting to look more attractive.
I'm curious about what you do as far as 'planning ahead' for loading/reloading/testing?
