Reloading Record Keeping Software

Post by killian6pk »

Does anyone use software to keep track of load information for record keeping? I saw the post about Lee Shooter software, but that is not available anymore.

I use an excel spreadsheet to keep all of my load data. It is cheap and easy to modify if so desired. Currently I have 3 spreadsheets, .380, 9mm, 45acp., that has: primer manufacturer, projectile weight, type & manufacturer, OAL, powder name & charge weight, Chrono FPS, number of rounds loaded, & a comment section.
This has worked for me so far. Hope this helps.

I've used the several, but settled on TMT's products. Tom is a forum supporter, he has an add at the bottom of page.

I have been using "Point Blank" for quite awhile. I have a copy of Lee Shooter also.

That's funny that software is the one I picked to download before seeing these replies to my post. Thanks it makes me feel better about my choice.

I was using Shooter Lab which is part of my pressure trace equipment but wanted better target analysis across loads. I was way beyond simple load records.

I use paper and pencil in a binder that also includes the loading tables for that cartridge. It is foolproof and does not crash. I have load results from 55 years ago.
I am not anti digital as I do have a computer in my loading room with over 20 GB of loading manuals and data on it. I just find it easier to write it down on paper.
