Reloading Software

[Sniper]

Any of you guys use Quickload? If so what do you think about it? Are there any other software programs that you may have used that you like?

Typically I am just using reloading manuals and also the published online reloading data from the powder/bullet manufacturers to get reference and starting loads.

Also for years I have just been writing all my loads down into a spiral notebook. If I lose that notebook I am starting over. How do you store your load data?

I used a spiral notebook for years. Then, I migrated to a spreadsheet. WHen I lost a bunch of data I gave up and went back to the spiral notebook.

Nothing is satisfactory. With the PC I tried really hard to keep track of Chrony results, Temp, and wind in addition to load data. I really regret not spending the coin required to get a Chrony-type that would download to the PC.

The advantage of a paper system is it is easily portable. laptops may pretend to be portable but they want electricity to work for extended periods of time. Plus, the never ending requirement to back up your data and store it safely can be a bummer.

Here is a paper example of my .280 results.

Yeah that looks about like my notebook with notes all over the page.

Whats left of a Spiral notebook. My labradoodle ( that's right I unfortunately have a labradoodle that loves to chew everything) decided to rip the covers off of it and almost lost his life.

QuickLoad is worth every penny if you reload much. I like to know exactly how close I am to pressures. With a chrono and QuickLoad, you can really dial in loads.

Thanks for all the info.

I print out my own targets on 95lb paper and use the 3 targets ones that have room for the load data under the target. I then place them in a 3 ring binder. I went to this method after always having a hard time keeping up with notecards are notebooks.
