I am a software engineer and have considered writing my own software for this similar to what you are doing...but because of lack of time I am just using excel. I track everything using serial numbers. I have a label maker and stick the serial number on everything. Here is my format

The first two letters are for what kind of object. The next two numbers year purchased and the final four are unique starting at 0001 and going up.

Primers: PR_13-0001
Powder: PO_13-0004
Bullets: BU_13-0002

As for finished rounds. Have not decide on the serial type yet. Probably something similar though. I have 100 round cases with labels on them. One side goes from 1 to 10 then the next side 10 to 100 in increments of 10.
