Hey dudes
I designed a basic reloading log a while back, using Formtools program. Anyhoo, recently updated the data menus to add some new info, and figured I'd convert a blank page into a pdf file...
Hosted it on a free download site:

Although the pdf file conversion doesn't allow the drop down menus or basic calculations to migrate over, you can still download/print a bunch of blanks. Then, manually write all the data & save hard copies in a folder.
Just figured I'd share, if anyone's interested?

Ladder tests are a method of determining pressure threshold of a load & note velocity gains for increased charges.
Start with X(low) charge and end at Y(high) charge weight. 8-10 'steps' is common.
Interval is determined by capacity, usually 10% of case capacity is a fair estimate.
IE, 0.3gr 'steps' is common for a .223 sized case. 0.5gr steps is common for .243 & larger cases.
Here's a snapshot of my program. Not all the data is entered, but you can see how it populates the ladder test & calculates neck tension, avg. velocity, etc...
Raw velocity data needs to be inputted manually, next to each 'step'. As does ES/SD and group size.

I'm terrible on documenting my data. I write it on the fucking wall in my reloading room. Other than that, I depend on the labels or the sharpie markings on the boxes. I'm anal about a lot of things but pretty casual when it comes to "reloading logs". Pathetic, I know. What about when I move to AZ? Then what? Start over?
