[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 932104, member: 63138"] Elite Muzzleloader That is a good shooting rifle you have there. It is worth keeping good notes on that load. I didn't used to keep very good records but after I forgot various good loads I started keeping better track. I have a system I like which is to take the notes right on the target and then keep it. I developed my own targets (see pic below) and print them myself. I like this particular target because with the relatively light background you can see the bullet holes at 200 yards plus with the 1 inch squares you can tell when a load sucks right from the bench. I mark another copy of the target I have at the bench while shooting including which shot went where, velocity etc. Once I get the target with the bullet holes in it off the board I transfer the info to that target and pitch the markup. I've found this info to be useful to figure out what you were doing back when. I have a pile of targets sitting here that is about 5 inches tall after several years of developing loads for a bunch of different rifles. More than once I've been glad I had this info for all kinds of reasons - scopes gone bad, new powder lots, etc. [/QUOTE]
