spread sheet?

[wisconsinteacher]

Looking at the app thread, I see a lot of people use a spread sheet. What info do you put on your sheet? Date/temp/bullet/brass/powder wt/powder kind/primer/COAL/ogive lenth/date ammo was made/????

I would like to start doing this. I have a binder with a tab for every rifle that works but like many said, paper gets lost.

I also find it useful to record wind speed/direction, and how the brass was prepped. Especially if there is a difference, i.e. neck sized only, or neck turned, or this die, etc. I have gone through a couple of different kinds of dies, but use many of them still for a specific purpose.

Date,temp,bullet,brass,powder wt,powder kind, powder lot#,primer,COAL,ogive length, plus I keep track of how many firings on the brass, if brass was annealed, how brass was re-sized, 100 and 200 yard group sizes and if a load showed any sigh on over pressure. I do all this on excell and it seems to work well.

I made mine with excel so it calulates most anthing you want like ST/DEV, AVE, and VEL increase for the last string. This and all the normal data like case length, OCL, length at O-give and all component used.

So I have it on paper and my PC. I have afile for each cartridge and a sheet for each bullet. I have only one gun per cartridge so thats how I orginized it.

Yup. Mine is excel also.

Everything you guys listed is on mine but I just enter the mean velocity.

I went simple. I just created a single one page document for each load I work up. It covers the checklist for load creation, load details, and then information on each string within the load I create. I just throw these in a binder with the targets behind them. That way I have everything I need in one go.

One Excel tab for each caliber, using the following columns: Bullet, Number of Rounds, Charge / Powder, Primer, Bullet Seating Depth, Load Date, Date Fired, Temp °F, Group Size, Avg. Velocity, sd.
