[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 1656194, member: 108777"] Before being retired I was a bit of an engineer. A quote I made bout thirty or so years ago, "Too much information is almost enough". I make a spreadsheet, starting with date and brand, lot number if available. I clean and number each piece of brass, then weight, length, wall thickness and so on. I do need to quit being lazy and measure individual volume(s). Same data as when I reload, including temp and pressure in my reloading room, 68℉ provides consistency. When reloading or working on design I hide and my wife only gets me if I forget to eat. When I shoot, GPS, direction of travel, angle, date, no moon position but that is easily obtainable. Time, temp, mirage, breeze, speed, pressure, temp of cartridges, everything that might make a difference, including gremlins. Found most of the gremlins came because I didn't do my job. I did not write everything I log. I then check statistics, averages and why it isn't a ragged hole. And most of all, I read what others have done. There is too much I don't know and I can gain a lot from listening to smarter men. And I save my spreadsheets to two back-ups. Modify them, old saved, as I learn more of what is useful and what is just being anal. Peace and Grace with you. [/QUOTE]
