Labels

[w1mnk]

I've got some reloaded ammo that I bought at a gunshow. The plastic boxes have labels on them that have spaces for just about everything relevant... powder and charge, bullet type, (of course) caliber, etc. Are these available from a supplier? Of is there something availvable on the net that can be downloaded an printed. Thanks in advance for help

For Rifle/Pistol it is http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/798107 and for shotshell it's http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/324350
Both are 5.99 per 100 on sale with a normal price of 7.99 per.

I think they are available from MTM plastics as well?

Update: In checking the mTm case guard website,
they are available for all calibers; and come in color
coded format.

When ever I've run out I've just use 3.5" floppy disk labels.

You can even print them up on computer.

As usual, all great answers. Thanks, guys.

I get the Avery file folder labels. Get 'em at WalMart or Staples.
They also make a file label that is removable. Stays put until you take it off, I've used them under the hood of my vehicles to note mileage at oil changes.

Spray glue...

Why not make whatever label you want on whatever scrap of paper you have and use 3M Spray Mount Adhesive

One can lasts almost forever and the label can be removed without damaging whatever you've had it stuck to. It's quick, easy and except for the $10 start up cost it's almost painless!

Reloading labels

I made some reloading labels in Word format. I put 9 on a sheet. You can fill them out in Word, or print a blank sheet of them and fill them out with a pen. I printed out 3 or 4 sheets, cut them up and put a rubber band around them and threw them into one of my reloading "accessory" (read junk here) boxes on my reloading bench. When I need one, they're easy to get at. I guess I could e-mail them to you as an attachment, if you're interested. These are the smaller labels, about 1 1/2 x 2 inches.

I write on the backs of scrap paper and Scotch Tape it on to the ammo boxes. It is what you may call versatile.

I must really be lazy! I slap on a piece of masking tape and write the info on it. I need to order boxes though, if I find a good deal on labels I'd probably get 'em.

Lots of good ideas here - - -

All workable, and many of which I've used.

When I box up a lot of same loads, I usually print up some labels in Word format- -I can print caliberand bullet type in large bold print, and additionalin smaller type face. Then I use acetate package sealing tape to secure label to the plasticbox- - Or Ziplok plastic bag or whatever container. I usually turn a tab of tape for later removal.

Something like - --

.45 ACP
230 gr FMJ
5.4 gr. W-231
Rem Bullets
WLP primers
W-W cases
ev = 810 fps

For rifle cases, I usually include the COL and number of times loaded

Simple, easy, and looks pretty decent.
