Good responses so far. I'd just add that when I load ammo I always write down the "born on date" on the box. I'll also usually note on the box what I intended the load for: plinking, hunting, accuracy, max. velocity, etc. It makes it easier when I'm grabbing stuff to go shooting.

When I Chrony my loads I record the date, the ambient temperature, the distance from the muzzle to the Chrony, the firearm the loads were shot in, and the location I was shooting at.

When I shoot for accuracy I always record the firearm used, the scope, and magnification used. I also keep groups, trimmed to size (1" or less when you do your part), and tape or staple them into my load notebook along with all the other info I've recorded. It's pretty cool to go back and look at stuff you did ten years ago and have it all there in one place. -- Kernel
