Jesse Private. Full Member. Feb 5, 54 0 I have finished a rifle build. Savage in win mag. I am planning on ordering an Impact Data Book. Short on funds at the moment though. Are there any. Nov 22, 1, 6 Directly under the sun. There are a few sites shooting voodoo, this one, etc that offer free pages to download generic pages that are pretty good actually. Print it off and you're GTG. Here is one I made that captures info typically found on a few different cards onto one card.

Intimate details about the rifle's barrel and chamber as well as several rows to log specific loads that you have developed for this rifle. I often will have several loads for each rifle for different jobs. For instance, on a typical win I will have a SMK load for long range paper punching and steel, a gr RN subsonic load, and a gr nosler ballistic tip load for hunting.

There is a section for your contact info in the case this databook or weapon is lost and found. I figure a reward will bring your thousands of dollars in gear back to you faster than a call to the local PD.

Next up is the barrel log. Not much to be said. You can use this page to keep track of how many shots are fired in the barrel, cleaning cycles, barrel swaps or re-barrels. Logging each round can really start to show you some patterns and get you in tune with what your barrel likes pretty quickly. Now we are getting to the good stuff. Look as though I might, I did not find a suitable page for working up a load. Most were too cluttered. Date, time, location, rifle, elevation, humidity, temp, pressure, mirage, lighting conditions, wind strength and direction.

All the obvious environmental variables that you will need to take into account. Then you can go into detail about each component and its lot number, and the individual measurements that will be of concern. Once you have everything filled out, then you can begin shooting a basic ladder test. There is room for 10 shots charge weight, and their velocity.

In the blank space to the right, use your stencil or draw in your target on the right. After each shot, plot its POI in the space on the right. This will save you a lot of trips down range.

After your ladder test is complete, and you think you have a good load, its time to test it. Load up 20rnds of the winning combo from the lader, and fire them through the chrono. Again, log all your conditions before you begin shooting your string. Generally, I will shoot 5 and then let the barrel cool before firing the next string.

This will give you time to go to the target, and mark your holes with one of the 4 different colored markers we talked about earlier. Each string gets its own color, and you can put a little swipe with the according color in that column to keep them separate. Another way is to plot your shots using a dot from the appropriate marker. Be sure to plot each shot on the right, as you shoot them. If you are happy with the performance of this load, then I attach my own nickname to the load, and keep "lot numbers" when I do a batch of them.

It will help you determine if you were screwing up one day at the reloading bench if you are shooting like crap and can't figure out why. Here is the basic blank target page. The same environmental conditions fields combined with room for logging 10 shots on target. I find that any more than 10 results in the plotting section getting way too filled up.

Use your stencil or draw your target to the right. Estimate your range if you wish, or plug in the actual range to target for each shot as you are about to take it. Write in your elevation such as "2. Same for windage. Often you will find a "call" section on here somewhere. I don't quite understand the benefit of that, so I left it out. If I'm pushing a bad shot, I'm fucking up. So my "call" is always going to be dead center.

A miss is a miss, regardless of the fact that I knew it was a miss right after I squeezed the trigger. Plot your shots accordingly. If you make an adjustment after firing shot 1, log the change in wind or elevation for the next shot. Your initial elevation of 2.

Same as above, just with the shape of the steel I most frequently shoot at drawn in already. Here are all of the above pages in PDF form.

You have a record of the changes that will occur if you switch from a grain bullet to one weighing 75 grains. I recommend doing the same thing for every firearm you own. Most of the people I know who get into firearms, no matter the reason, eventually end up with a small collection of weapons. After all, you need a few pistols for carry, a variety of rifles and carbines, and of course probably a dose of shotguns. At some point it becomes difficult to keep track of everything, especially like when you changed out a buffer spring, how many rounds have been fired through a specific barrel, or what make bolt group is in a particular AR.

The solution is to develop a log or data book for each firearm you own. In my spec sheets I include detailed information about what parts were used to assemble that weapon.

I keep track of when the battery was changed in the red-dot sight. When a part breaks, I know what brand it was, how long it lasted and what to replace it with. There are targets in the file so I know what group to expect from that particular weapon with specific type or brand ammo. Keeping targets gives me a reference to look back at.

Keeping this information is also good if you need to take your AR to a gunsmith for repairs or modifications. Plus, if I have a clean sheet of paper, I can draw out illustrations for documenting a certain point, or attach pictures to the file.

Yes, you could keep your notes on a computer, but remember that the act of writing something down helps implant it in the mind. But you do need to keep a record of all the different modifications made, bullet trajectory for different distances — including wind shifts — and other major details of that weapon. Approach all the different aspects of this accordingly.
