My BPCR shooting totals

Post by TexasMac »

I keep a spreadsheet of all my BPCR reloading so it was easy to totaled up everything since I started silhouette shooting in late 2012.

It’s been 11,000 rounds down range (10, 974 to be exact) to date between the Browning 45-70 (602), Browning .40-65 (7513) & Sharps .40-65 (2859).

So that’s 11,000 primers, 100lbs of powder & 736lbs of lead alloy. BTW, I’ve never had a split or damaged case and the .40-65 Remington cases have been shot approximately 50 times each since I rotate through 200 cases, but they're annealed after each match.

I know I’m anal but I enjoy keeping track of it all in a spreadsheet, which I can refer back to in order to determine how the ammo was loaded if any questions come up or if one batch shoots significantly better than another.

How does one go about making such a spread sheet? I am terrible at keeping notes but I would really like to get better at it. A more organized way to keep data.

I think I'll start working on being more organized too, next year right after I get this procrastinating thing under control. :shock:

That's downright SCARY Wayne

I'm organized well enought to load for the next match, and that's sometimes a burden of anxiety hoping I don't forget anything 🥴

You'll must have & learn the basics of one of the computer, web-based or cloud-based spreadsheet software program. There are several available. Some cost & some may be free. I use Microsoft Excel which came with Microsoft Office.

There's also Google Sheets which is a cloud-based program, Calc which comes with LibreOffice, the web-based program called Zoho Sheet & the spreadsheet in OnlyOffice software suite which I believe is cloud-based.

If the above reads like I know what I'm talking about it's only because I just Googled "spreadsheet programs" & the above info popped up. :lol:
