ALthough the good ol' pen and notebook have served me well to record various loads for various rifles, I wonder if anyone has an easy to use reloading notebook program on your computer that you can just punch in your powder weight, bullet etc and it gives you a nice looking notebook.

Being able to scan a target or something to attach tot he notes would be a bonus..
 
All the features you want are in EndNote X3 (I use X2 for bibliographic work when I write scientific papers); all you'd have to do is make a custom 'reference type' and put in whatever fields you want...

It's searchable front-to-back, very intuitive, and it's reasonably priced or *cough* if you didn't want to pay I'm sure you wouldn't have to (I'm not offering, but others have warez-ed the software for years... mines so important to my work that I bought my copy from our University site-license program).

PM me for more details, and I could possibly even email you a few screenshots of the types of things I'm talking about. You could put in about 30 different fields (Caliber, projectile maker, projectile wt, powder manuf, powder wt, compressed load yes/no, brass weight, brass internal capacity, neck thickness, primer uniformed - flash deburred yes/no, rifle used, wind, air temp, humidity, altitude, max 3-shot spread, min 3-shot spread, average, etc. etc. etc.) and not stretch the program at all. To top it all off, you can attach files of any type to the document - for example, with my papers I cite I attach the PDF file to each reference entry (takes about 3 seconds) and I can search via any field and pull up the PDF copy with two or three clicks from the word "go."

Full retail price is something like $119 or so; well worth it when one considers it's more functional than a lot of home inventory systems that sell for the same or more.

Works OK with wine. There seems to be a huge amount of data that can be stored with this program. I just added junk data to test it, seems quite good.
 
Im also using that new fandangled thing called microsoft excel....I stole the collumn headers from a lyman note book and made some changes. I keep an old laptop in my reloading room specifically for this application.
 

Hmmmmmmm, this appears to be Shareware, NOT Freeware. Website says:



Rob's Reloading Organizer is shareware. This means:

Anyone may use this software during a test period of 30 days.
Following this test period of 30 days, if you wish to continue to use Rob's Reloading Organizer, you MUST register to use all the functions in this software.

You can still use the program to save and open your reloading data when the test period is over, but most of the functions will be locked until you have registered the program.

Price Cash payment: 35 USD, 300 DKK, 300 NOK, 30 Euro or 300 SEK




I would be inclined to create an Excel spreadsheet instead.

Opps, I sit here corrected, my mistake.

I was about to post the same thing, nearly word for word.

Works well for me.
 
I am far too dependent on my iPhone already....

Can someone post thier Exel sheet? I suck at making these things
 
I use PointBlank on a USB stick to keep track of my loads. It has places for the pertinent information and also has the target printing capability.
