Default Keeping a reloading journal

I've mentioned that this winter I want make drastic improvements to my entire shooting system. Well, I decided to extend my overhaul to my reloading setup. There's nothing wrong with my handloads or process of reloading; it's my record keeping that I need to work on. Several months may pass between the time I reload a round and the time I fire it, then several more months before I clean and reload the case again. In that time, it's easy for me to forget certain details about the loads or cases.

With this in mind, I decided to pull out an unused notebook from my high school days and create a reloading and shooting logbook to record not only what handloads I make and when, but also the exact specifications regarding the components and how well the loads perform on the range or in the field. Even though I haven't had much opportunity to make notes in it yet, it's already pretty clear this journal is going to be a great addition to my reloading bench.

Anyone else have a reloading journal for record keeping?
