Labels

[2011redrider]

Found these on Ultimate Reloader site. I print them on paper or card stock and cut them out. Place them in the box as they are loaded.

Loads go in plastic bag with label. When fired, the label goes on the target

That's a great Idea when in the testing stage! One label, two uses. Easy target marking and identification at the range.

2011redrider thank you that's the download I lost have used them for years. Also picked up some great ideas for the Avery programs provided via this post. The program you provided will also print on sticky Avery labels. Thanks again.

Excellent! I was about to create my own, when i found this. Much better than I would have done, including things I hadn't thought of. Thanks!

Avery has a program you can download from their site where you can select the form your using and it will create labels for them.

Yeah, I think what you want is Avery Design Pro which is a free download from the link I posted. As mentioned, you can also use Microsoft Word. MS Word list a good collection of Avery labels by number. My wife uses Word quite a bit with labels, I use Avery Design Pro.

Reminds me that I just bought a bunch of blank RCBS Die Boxes and I need to print the labels for them. I had a lot of loose dies and I like the RCBS little green die boxes. I have the labels and just need to get this stuff organized.

You can say that again!

Of course, if one doesn't have any labels yet, a printed copy on paper and a pair of scissors makes for a very good start. Much better than what I was originally planning on doing. I just printed the sheet an hour or so ago.

I might edit the PDF to include the number of times the cases have been reloaded, the "batch number", and other information the Lyman reloading book suggests we track.

Currently, the "generic" form lists powder volume. I'm not sure how we're supposed to know that. I'm also not sure what a "comparator reading" is.

I think anyone with Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) can edit the form if desired.

Thanks again for posting!

You can use a crayon on masking tape as long as you know what you have in the box.

I use the Avery Labels with this design.



Long as whatever you choose works for you.

Now of course we need a cost analysis of the pre printed ones vs printing you own and the use of printer ink.

Using a pencil you can erase and reuse them for substantial cost saving (for the media washers)

I saw a YouTube video where the cards were printed on Avery business cards and then he laminated the cards. Simply fill in the data with a fine point sharpie and stick it in the box of bullets. When done, wipe off the card with alcohol and it's ready to use again.

I made up a batch for each ammo box as well as the bulk ammo totes in the shop. They work great!

Well there ya go, that's a great idea!

I am going to try some.

I've been using the business cards for labels for years but never have though about laminating them. I may have to give that a try. My labels are printed on both side. The back is for notes. All refer to a master log entry with more info, lot #.

I use a free business card diy app on my iPad/iPhone that works well, despite not being an actual label maker. I also don't want stickiness on them as it's easier to just place the tag inside the box instead and then I don't have to peel them off.

I use Avery6460 printable labels. The stick well but also peel off easily when you want to re-label something. You can set them up any way you want. The only limitation is space.

I am shocked! Where are the details? Bullet, powder, weight COL etc. Hidden inside?

A mislabeled first aid kit? What if you need a band aid?

Very good of you to remember the "Media Washers" .
We are alive and doing fine.

I totally agree that printer ink is way out of line as far as cost.
I can buy a NEW cheap printer that will print text and low res. pictures cheaper or as cheap as one print cartridge.

And YES I have used a pencil..!!!!

It's more money in my pocket for other reloading supplies I can't do without .
( I can always use painters tape )...Right??

Yes, inside on a sticky note.

The people who sell printers could give them away free, for all they care - they make their money selling ink.


I like the ideas up above, with all the details about everything, stored on a label, and I also like to have more than enough space on the label so I can fill it in by hand, with any other details I might want to record. I don't see any need to even print an actual label - the forms from up above, with all the additional information that's been mentioned, can easily be printed on a single sheet of paper, cut down with scissors to create quite a few small forms. Then, I just put one of them inside the box with the ammo. Works with plastic ammo boxes, or cardboard.

Go to this link and it'll show you how to find Avery templates in Microsoft Word:

http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/He...Avery-Template-Built_in-to-Microsoft-Word.htm

I just followed their directions and I was able to choose from any number of Avery labels you can commonly find at your local store.

No need to download anything at all...it's already in Word.

 

[Walkalong]

Cool, they are a pain to find and download, and I usually have to tweak them.

 

[mikemyers]

Suggestion. Before worrying about which label to use, maybe it would be better to consider what data needs to go on the label.

Unless I missed something, here are all the items listed up above that at least one of you has suggested be included on a label, and one more (Velocity) that I found listed on someone else's labels:

• Box Number:
• Caliber:
• Date Reloaded:
• Bullet (weight, brand, style):
• Powder (weight and brand):
• Primer:
• Case:
• Times case loaded:
• Case length:
• COL:
• OverAllLength range:
• Velocity:
• Notes:

I use removable labels to stick to previously used ammo boxes scrounged from the range and an editable Word template that I made up. I just edit it as needed.

delete - file too big

 

[Sport45]

I write the date, load info, and round count on a scrap of paper and toss it in the bucket/box/bag they are loose packed in.

 

[Walkalong]

My sticky note in the box with the ammo has only basic info (Bullet, powder type and weight, month/year loaded, and primer.), but it also has the Load #, so I can look it up for all the details.
