I've got more than that for .357. I gave up and went digital.I use the Lyman log book that ReloaderFred referred to earlier. It's good for logging 200 loads.
My little bit of advice for the new guys reading this is write everything down and put it in a safe place!
just keep digital copies these days, saved in multiple places, including a flash drive in the safe.
just curious how you remove the marker when doing a different workup? I too do the same as you but use a label maker and put the strips on it with the charge weight like you have the marker. I ask because the strips peal off and then i have to look in my notes what the charge was.I keep two notebooks for load data. One is the load testing book, and the other is the finalized loads book. Whenever I am doing load development I write down what I'm loading otherwise I'm liable to forget if I don't shoot them for a few days. I just fill up the notebook in no particular order and jot notes when I am shooting.

I number my ammo boxes to correlate what ammo is what load in the book

sometimes I just write the load on the front of the ammo box and put any notes I want to keep in the book later

Once I have a load worked up that I want to keep I write it in my finalized load book in a more organized manner.

Each page in the book is for a specific gun. Some have only one load each, and some have 10. I do not keep any information on what dates ammo was loaded or how many. I like to maintain full boxes of ammo so for example for my 444 marlin I have exactly 50 rounds of brass and keep them in a 50 round ammo box. If I shoot 35 rounds I don't wait till the other 15 have been fired to reload them, I just reload the 35 and move the 15 remaining rounds in the box forward. So its possible I have ammo loaded on 3 or 4 dates in the same box.

I do the same I like to write it down on paper and I always later add notes as to how well load performed or other information I learned about load. I also keep all this in a three ring binder so I can cut out good magazine articles or online data from powder manufacturers and add to my data log binder.I do it the old fashioned way, on paper. Lyman makes a book of pages for keeping track of data, and I copy it. I've got three binders, one for rifle and two for handgun calibers. Every round loaded goes into the logs, which are divided by caliber.
Hope this helps.

Wow if I kept that much data I wouldn't have enough time to load anymore. I used to do all my rifle shooting on recipe cards that I would write the load data on and then punch and put in a binder but that just got to be too much clutter.
Here is a simple one for pistol. I stopped printing them out and just keep digital copies these days, saved in multiple places, including a flash drive in the safe. I did it in Excel, so I can adjust it, add to it, do whatever I want with it. I log more info with rifle, and much more with "match" rifle.
