What info for labels, which are your favorite?

[sam4886]

So I haven't been able to find any reloading labels that capture all the info I'd like them to. It seems they all have some info I want, some info I don't, and combos of both.

I'll probably just end up making my own, but what info do you all include on yours and what are your favorite pre-made levels?

I'm planning on the following info-
Caliber
Bullet brand, name, weight
Case brand and original caliber if resizing
Full or neck sized with shoulder bump and comparator #
Crimp - y/n and Lee FCD setup
Neck tension if known
Trim length
Primer
Powder name, weight
COAL
CBTO and comparator #
Brass prep steps - pockets uniformed, flash holes debured, ect
Times fired

First glance forgot bc and lenght for bullet.

 

[Snuby642]

Bullet jump in which barrel, chamber length of current barrels

 

[sam4886]

BC is a good thought. Not worried about the length... The weight should be fine there I think.

The MTM labels have a space for rifle and I hadn't really seen it as needed, but you may be right... A place for chamber length and jump/jam might be nice. None of my rifles are real custom jobs at the moment, but more info can't hurt.

 

[Snuby642]

I load 223 for 7 different rifles, helps me track performance. Rechecking chambers but so far +/- 0.0005 maybe a full thousands at best. When I get a box of fired brass I have to know where it came from.
Each rifle gets its own stats.

Alright, I tend to be anal. I keep info regarding firearms and their ammo with 1) a reloading label inside of each MTM ammo box and a 2-page rifle-specific info inside of range binder.

On an MTM label.

 

[Mr.Kirk]

Wow. Put all that shit on a note card and name it A-1, label corresponding ammo A-1.

 

[Conaso]

The label fit inside the MTM 50rd ammo box. The reloading/ballistic data fits one page, front and back in the binder that travels between my reloading room and range.

 

[rulellis]

I only mark the boxes caliber and box number. I put all the other information in an excel spreadsheet. If there are differences in loads I mark with permanent marker on the individual rounds. I find it easier to just open the spreadsheet on my phone for reference. Then I make notes on targets and take home and insert all the new data in my spreadsheet. But attached is the info I currently track on it.
