[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 1742539, member: 75815"] The Hock's last bullet point is important: find or make your own flow sheet that documents every step of your reloading process, with blanks that you fill in as you work a group of empty cases through the steps. That way, if you are interrupted before completing the rounds, you will know where you left off. On this flow sheet have a place to document the brand of brass, number of times fired, bullet mfr and type (I record the bullet model number from the box), the primer brand and type, powder brand and type as well as the charge weight(s) used, trimmed case length, total length of the completed cartridge ("COAL") and results of firing each powder charge: Muzzle velocity of the rounds (individually or in strings), mean, standard, extreme spread. Some people also save the targets and label them, so they can look back and see the grouping of the bullet holes. The one very important tool I haven't seen mentioned so far: a chronograph! Almost everybody is using Magnetospeed or Lab Radar these days. There are numerous discussions on here comparing the merits of the two. [/QUOTE]
