    One thing that should be mentioned about the reloading addiction is the importance of good record keeping.
    Hard copy records in a proper book.
    Not loose paper in a folder
    On the computer is fine but hard copy as well.
    As we get older we forget what we used to know.
    Proper hard copy is reliable.
    And do it in a format that is understandable to someone less experienced.

    I have recently found reloading data credited to me that has done the rounds. From a rifle I sold years ago with ammo, dies, brass and a full data set.
    I checked it was as per my original work ups and it was .

    When I started keeping records I only loaded for 2 pretty ordinary cartridges.
    Now I load for around 30 different cartridges ( maybe more helping friends with weird old stuff ) and am a lot older so can't rely on memory for any of it .
