Logbook?

[Jpsmith1]

What does your logbook look like in 2025?

I started with a 3 ring binder and loose pages and that is still what I am using.

Anyone using a spreadsheet or database or some other digital tool to track load data and correlate performance like group sizes, velocities and the like?

I use Google Sheets. Always avalible and easy to keep updated.
Hate Excel sheets.

I use a bound notebook (like a moleskin). I also have a good bit of info in GRT and OnTarget files.

my log books are the little 6 ring binders, one for 25 cal and below and one for 264 cal and above. They contain all the load data, wind, temp etc and the resulting group size. My targets I use are just 8 1/2×11, 5 dots, and I have a file for them. Each by rifle. Some of my data dates back to 70s. When I am developing a load a 3x5 file card is created on each load that goes into a file by brass lot I create. I keep track of what I do to each lot of brass, usually 500 rds, in 50 rounds per 3x5 card. It contains everything done to the brass, annealed, primer pocket prep tool used, etc. I guess some woukd say i am overboard but I had my ammunition mfg license for awhile and kept records on everything.

I have a hand crafted leather bound book some friends made me for a birthday present before I started reloading. Seemed like an appropriate use. I’m not a diary guy.

I use Excel. Each cartridge has its own worksheet and I can insert images as links. Easy to add rows as well.
