[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3742186, member: 27673"] Inside the mfgs. box of bullets is pretty much always a load data label and after determining my pet load I fill it out and it goes in my die box for future reference.........if I've worked up a load using a different powder, bullet or primer for that caliber I fill out another label and it also goes in the die box also (I don't pull the backing off the adhesive labels and stick them inside the die box I just lay them inside.) Also in the die box is a dummy round for each bullet with the bullet type and mfg. part number for that bullet written in magic marker on each case. Also in the die box is a piece of paper that tells me what the seating die is currently set for based on what I loaded last, which comes in handy when using different bullets for the same caliber........then in each box of loaded ammo I put a card that shows the data for that box of ammo. For each caliber that I've worked up a load for I write down the loads I've tried for the same bullet, powder and primer........I normally work up five rounds of five different powder weights and will note which load was the best when returning from the range and that info also goes on a small card and is put inside the die box. I can open a die box and everything I need to know about that caliber is on two to four little cards........there's probably better or different ways to keep track of load data but my system has been working fine for me since I started loading back in the 80's.
