mineralman55 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Once or twice a year, I get a sense of altruism, and do something that doesn't benefit me at all. I thought I'd share my Excel reloading spreadsheet. I've accumulated all this info over the years. Lots of folks have spreadsheets to record their loads, but I like to graph up the loading data published by various powder and bullet manufacturers. This gives very good insight into what various classes of powders are expected to do in a given caliber/bullet weight combination. The beauty of this is you can add/customize any info you want to the spreadsheet such as adding new load charts and then graph up what you want from them. If you find a loading chart you like, just screen capture it and paste it into the proper sheet. There are spreadsheets for 9mm, .357, 45acp, 5.56 and 7.62x51. There are burn rate charts from numerous sources, service rifle loads from the NJHiPower association and a milsurp cross reference chart, charts for case weights. You can add your own tabs for keeping inventory of bullets, powders, primers, etc. Keep good comments. Record "bad" things in red font, "good" things in blue. Then, one of the things I do is duplicate a spreadsheet, then custom sort on "Powder -> Bullet wt. -> Style ->Charge". This give me a chance to review the trends of bullet/powder combinations and see what works best. Understand this: I DO NOT WARRANTY ANY OF THE DATA YOU SEE ON THIS SPREADSHEET!!! IT IS FOR DEMONSTRATION ONLY!!! CHECK AND VERIFY ALL RELOADING DATA FOR YOUR OWN DAMN SELF!!! reloads_datasheet.xls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mineralman55 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I have an even more extensive workbook page for 30-06, but I felt I'd be cluttering up the works. If anyone wants that one, I can send it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 30-06 is what I cut my reloading teeth on in the 70's. May take you up on that, but not right now. Thanks for the offer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
