Excel Reloading Database

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!!!
