Hi folks,

I've spent some time between jobs building a small online platform to help me track my hand loading experiments. I'd love some feedback to see if this is useful for others as well.

Short summary of the experiments feature:
  • You can set up experiments with multiple treatments (whatever you'd like to compare, such as powder, bullets etc)
  • It automatically generates a test target to print out to make data collection easy (optional)
  • Once you've shot you groups you can import muzzle velocity data from Garmin Xero, Labradar or Magnetospeed
  • You can collect group size either from photos or Shotmarker
  • The data is then analyzed and visualized in various different ways like box plots and statistical analysis (see screenshots or link below)
  • You can also share the results via a link for others to view (as I just did below)
Example plot of a quick test I ran comparing H1000 and N565 for 160CX in 7PRC: https://artisanammo.com/skr/experiments/8e30830d-be3c-4460-8e83-6daae76b456a/analyze/plot


Load data summary:
  • Once you've settled on a final load you can add it with each step of the processes in a list (see link below)
  • You can also print out the checklist for when you load (or if you just want a hardcopy in the ammo box)
  • Example load (as always verify before using any of this in your own rifle): https://artisanammo.com/skr/loads/b261cc2a-cc94-47bf-9a01-37dd9786aa0e

Would love to hear what everyone thinks. Is this useful for others or just me? If it's not useful for you, what is missing? Bug reports are very welcome as well. It ought to work on mobile, but that is definitely not as well tested as on a bigger screen.
