I need a better way to keep a log of the loads I work up. Was wondering what you all use. I want something that I can print off. Been trying to figure out a spread sheet but still working on it. Ideas plese.

I only load for a few calibers/firearms which keeps life simple.. I use the 8 * 5" index cards per caliber/weapon and keep my OCW charts where I keep all the information notes also.. I keep a golden round of each caliber also without powder.

you wouldn't happen to have a pic of the excel set up you use would you. I am interested in the way you have it set up.

I usually take photos of my targets and add the info with a photo editing program (Photofiltre). Group size, Chronograph info, and any other info I fell applies. I keep them on thumb drives for each gun and number the drives corresponding to the rifle.

And sometimes I print them and keep them in binder books.

There are several good group size calculating programs.

"On target"

And if you search there is another that I have been using called Targetcalc. It was Written by a member on Eotacforum.com.

I found making jpeg files of the actual target and importing the group info along with the Chrono info all onto your target is the bugs nut.

I started doing this some time ago as I got tired of trying to save a big stack of oversized paper! A lot of times when I take the photo, I will set the box of factory ammo on the target in such a way that you can identify it thouroughly in the photo. I also try to take the photo on the same day I shot it so the upload from the camera will put it in the correct day folder
