Reloading Data Log Sheets

I have an Excel sheet that I can edit and save, or just print and write on. I can't upload it here, but can email a copy it you'd like.

There's an iPhone app called "iReload"
Idk if its available on other devices.
Since the last update you can save your data to the iCloud.
That's what I use .
 
At the field, a notebook (pencil, paper) works fine to 'log' the velocities over a chronograph plus any notes. Then come home and do the final analysis. I have a spreadsheet to enter the velocities which auto calculates min/max/SD/ES. Finally I enter the results into final spreadsheet which simply stores the load, bullet, primer, AVG velocity, SD, ES, number of shots, barrel length, and a note per row. Can't get much simpler.

Remember SD isn't really statistically valid unless you shoot 10+ rounds per load.

Example of a .44Special load:

8.0g CFE Pistol, 240g SWC, CCI-300, 1008, 6, 20, 15, 5 1/2”, Accurate+

I use OneNote on my phone. I take pictures or screenshots of the recipes in reloading books, keep them in OneNote too. The reload data pages get the chrono data pasted into them from the Caldwell chrono app. I can paste in the ballistics table from the Ballistics AE app.

I also use GunLog SPC (there are several versions of the app). It has great pages in there to store ammo on hand and has all the necessary boxes to fill also.

All that data is readily available on the phone at the range, offline.

For instance, one of my pages on OneNote:

Load 4G:
75 gr Hornady BTHP Match
LT-32, throw
Primer Win WSR
Brass Speer Nickel
2.221"

Using powder thrower push above max load of 21.2 gr LT-32 based on 77 gr Sierra, but using 75 gr Hornady BTHP Match

5 each for test of increasing throws
21.2 gr. (2560 FPS avg, 25.8 SD)
21.4 gr. (2641 FPS avg, 22.6 SD)
21.5 gr. (2661 FPS avg, 20.3 SD)

Ref volume
2x 0.82cc auto disk, 4x load = 84.3gr = 21.07gr each
