Reloading - Log Book (My first attempt at it)

[sigeye]

Hey guys,

I wanted to get your thoughts on the spreadsheet I created this morning to act as my reloading log book. I'm going to create a separate spreadsheet that will act as a log book for each rifle which will track rounds, cleaning and so on. You may have to zoom in on the picture because I'm not sure how it's going to look in this post.

Do you see anything or not see anything that I should tweak/add? This is formatted to print on (1) sheet of 8.5"x11" paper in landscape so it can be 3-hole punched and placed in a binder.

btw, I see a few formatting errors (centering and so on) that I will fix...

I don't see anything partner.....'cept a black square with a triangle and exclamation point in the middle of it.

I keep targets, with data on them, during a load work up that track what I'm doing, most of them are kept in a binder. Once a load is worked up all the pertinent info goes into an excel spreadsheet as a permanent record, as well as copied to the shooting log for that rifle.

My ammo boxes are labled with the same data, and my shooting log is in my ruck/bag......

Thanks for letting me know that it didn't post. I just re-posted it. Hopefully it works!

I always write down my Micrometer seating die ( redding) for each bullet type so I can quickly get back to it and its a quick fine tune from there. And if anything ever changes I note +/- how much based on a known dummy. I also keep a seperate list with all the settings on a sheet of paper in front of the book that I can quick reference for any rifle bullet combo I have made so far, for easy cross reference and comparison, and any changes noted as well. Other than that you have a fine sheet made up there. I would recommend card stock to print it on, front and back. Take it to Kinko's and have them do it up in a book format on spiral bound heavy paper/light cardstock for each rifle. you would be suprised how fast you fill it up.

I see you have COAL and seating depth, but one of the things I now track is bullet jump. It is helpful when changing something to trend a sweet spot.

I always measure off the ogive and usually don't measure COL as long as it fits in my magazine.

You have wind, but not a spot for wind direction unless you plan on cramming both in that little box.

Depending on what you want for atmosphere conditions but could put in altitude, pressure, humidity, or density altitude.
