What did you do in the reloading room today?

[DenverGP]

All the 9 and 45 I load goes into the clear plastic 50 round cases, and when all my cases are full, I fill up the trays from commercial ammo.

In each case or tray, I have a little slip of paper with the date, bullet brand/type/weight, powder brand, powder charge weight and OAL.

So my last slips for my 45acp rounds have
10/23
CFE 6.2gr
Xtreme 230gr HP 1.250

I was originally loading my 230gr HP to 1.230, but had a few feed issues so I moved them out to 1.250 and found they ran fine.
Now I can tell when I'm grabbing a case what length it was loaded to (so I can grab the longer ones for idpa or pin shoots, but use the shorter ones for range plinking)

I also have a spreadsheet that I update after each reloading session that contains:

Date, # of rounds, caliber, bullet brand/type/weight, powder brand, powder charge weight, OAL and then a column that is a formula of # of rounds times the charge weight. I also note on the spreadsheet when I start on a new can of powder.

I've always used the same primers, so I don't log that, but if I end up changing primers at some point, i'll add that to the spreadsheet as well.

I'm interested in how you guys log your stuff actually. Anyone able to post an example of what info you consider important? I've been loading in batches, but prefer to have one big tub of ammo as long as I haven't changed the load. If I put each round of loaded ammo into a different container, I'd run out of room right away. What do you guys do?

I only track how much of what bullet/powder, loaded OAL of what works.

In my ammo cans I only store ammo.

Once I get a good load, I stop playing with everything and load buckets of it.

I do the same as above.

That's pretty much what my aim is as well.

Bullet weight / profile & mfg. Primer used, powder name & weight, OAL, brass and date of run. This info is on a load data label


Once i settle on a performing load i put that data (powder & OAL) on piece of painters tape, then stick to powder dispenser. This tells me what setting it's at, for future reference.


This tells me how much 223 was processed on the 1050 per sitting. I know how much was loaded (for any caliber) by the empty primer boxes.

Got my wife to go to the Pawnee Saturday. I think She had fun. She shoots pretty well once she gets comfortable. I got to try out my 308 loads with the hornady 168 amax, 5 shot group with 43.2 grains of ancient h4895. Shot one 1/4" hole with a horizontal flyer that measures about 3/4 moa overall. My best shooting and, knock on wood, best loads so far.

De-primed and tumbled 1200 pcs of 308 tonight.
Seems I need to adjust the ergonomics of my de-prime station. Lower back is a bit sore.

I cranked out a few boxes of 12ga for the Multiplex next weekend at Pawnee S.C.
One time I couldn't get the ram to go all the way up...finally backed everything out and looked in the shell, there was an empty .22lr case laying in the bottom, I just couldn't seem to press it through the primer hole!
