I always thought that's be slick as heck. Type your info in, click print, then stick to box. Peel off when all shot up. Repeat. |

You can even store one's you use frequently. Best $20 I ever spent. |

Masking tape. Pretty simple, say a box is loaded with 185 grain lbnswc, 3.6 grains 700x, oal @ 1.15 tape is marked. 185/3.6, 700x/1.15 Doesn't get much simpler than that. dc. I use post it notes and old FGGM boxes for my .308 loads. Im still trying to find a load the rifle likes. After I figure it out il go to the mtm ammo boxes. |

I found a Brother QL700 on sale one day and of course I needed it for the office.......
I use a load log in excel then transfer data to the printer to make labels. I have the printer connected to a small lap top set on the bench. I can do load research in the house watching TV, enter the data, then next time I am out in the garage, open the excel document on that lap top and load the rounds. For load work ups I use plastic boxes. The labels are printed and put on 3x5 cards. The back of the card has another label for notes at the range. For batches of ammo I put the label on the box. Sometimes I put a duplicate card inside for range notes. I keep the 3x5's for reference. I color code calibers. For example all my dies, shell plates, feeder parts for 45 ACP are marked red. Ammo boxes are the same. Printer and laptop (the excel load log is on the screen). This is on my loading bench. 
Various ammo boxes - batches with labeled boxes and test rounds in plastic boxes with cards. 
The cards and labels - if you enlarge the photo you can see the data included. 
This is the back of the 40 SW card in the above picture. It is 20 rounds, 10 @ 5.5/red primer and 10 @ 6.0/blue primer. All other data is the same. I color primers to tell the rounds apart and enter that on the back of the data card.
