Hopefully this is helpful - Reloading Calculations Spreadsheet

[Pooker]

I was sent this a while back, and just started using it recently.

• It's a cost calculator

• Has a "Payback" tab, which allows you to factor in all the costs of your equipment and how much money you've saved since you started reloading

• Creates printable labels

• Converts grains, grams, ounces, pounds, as well as inches and milimetres.
  
• Calculates energy based on your loads

• It's free!

Now, I'm just a novice reloader, but I've already found this to be incredibly helpful, so I'm sure you guys will get a lot of utility out of it too!
All you need to run this is Microsoft Excel, or any program that can open and modify Excel spreadsheets such as Open Office.

It appears to have a virus, my virus software and office software does not like it at all!

Hmm, that's odd. It hasn't had any adverse effect on my Mac, but I don't want to be causing problems for people. It's a great sheet and would be a shame for people not to use it.

Why would I want to know what the costs are?

I run a PC not a Mac so that may be the difference?

Likely. I just opened it on my dad's PC, and it didn't set off any alarms from the antivirus, but Excel had a red caution banner across the top. I dunno, man.

my head is in the sand when it comes to costs, i just enjoy reloading, tweaking my own product and not going to the store for my ammo. i usually brake even or close to it.

Could be just macros in the excel sheet. Some macros can hide viruses, but most are required for calculations/formulas etc.

It does look very interesting though, sometimes I'd prefer not to know

they didn't find anything and my excel with block all internet files unchecked showed nothing

I know that feel lol I was pretty stoked to find out that I can load up basically the same loads that I'm doing up now, in bulk, with new brass, for ~10¢ less than what I'm currently loading for.

Good to know, thanks for checking!

While this maybe a good idea for some, having spouses and significant others get a hold of this would be absolutely unaffordable!
