    Good Downloadable Free Load Development Data Sheet?

    Hi Everyone,

    I was watching a guy that goes by GunBlue on CommieTube doing a video on rifle accuracy (can’t recommend the guy’s videos highly enough, btw: he’s terrific and a joy to listen to). Anyhow, at one point there was a shot of the page he uses in his Load Data book. Unfortunately, it was put out by a company that is evidently no longer in business.

    I am looking to transcribe about twenty-five years of my reloading load development notes from all types of scattered notebooks into one place. I prefer a written source, not digital. Three-ring binder capable.

    Does anyone know of a good free source for this? I’ve checked the Web; found some great free targets at AccurateShooter, but nothing that fits the bill of the above. Looking for a data sheet that’s one 8.5” x 11” piece of paper, per load.

    You could make this up yourself as an Excel spreadsheet. Then save the template as a pdf document and print out as many as you like. Just remember to give yourself some extra space on the left side of the sheet for the three hole punch.

    I don't remember where I took he idea for this sheet layout from, but I copied a sheet I saw somewhere and made an Excel spreadsheet from it. I lost the Excel file years ago, but I just keep making copies of it.

    I like it, because I can get everything on there, plus cut out targets to tape in so I have a reference. Below I did 4 steps of a ladder on the same page, so I could compare.

    I have a 3 ring binder that keeps growing, and every year or two I have to move up to a thicker one. I'm about ready to keep a separate "archive" binder for data I don't use regularly, and just keep my solid loads and current tests in the smaller one.

    I got the exact same layout from Beartooth Bullets, except theirs is three to a page.

    That could've been it. I think I just googled "load data sheets" and looked at a few dozen before settling on this one.
