If you continue hand loading..... write down your loading data. Always keep a written record.
Every box of loaded ammo should have a label showing exactly what is in it. Anything otherwise could be very dangerous.

I've had my reloading stuff for about 4 years. Started with a lee loader in 25-06 out of necessity. I was a 19 year old kid who liked to shoot my only rifle a lot and 1.25$ per shot was not working out. Since then I have gone through phases of buying stuff/loading ammo and the. Maybe 6-9 months goes by before I think about reloading again. You would be well off just boxing the stuff up and when the reloading bug bites you again you and just unpack a box instead of buy new equipment.

I had 2 ammo boxes and would use a label maker and put a label for each 5 shot charge on the box along with the primers used and date. once I found my good load for say h335 I stopped and went to BM and worked it up. I don't have any live ammo that I reloaded because I shot it all.
when I would go to the next charge I would make a new label. some started looking a little hot and I don't remember if it was what I loaded last which is labeled on the box or if its what I loaded before that.What happened to the labels on the boxes?
those who can,do. Those who have grandsons,teach.I hardly ever post due to raising 2 grandsons who were placed with me and my wife. The boys take up so much time that I have trouble finding time to reload much less post but I just let my equipment sit until I get a break and then reload when I can. Working on getting 500 empty 357 mag. cartridges done for target practice but 50 that will be for hunting. Keep your equipment until you have time and learn to write everything down. I not only keep a log of every round loaded I also write the powder & charge weight, bullet weight and OAL down on an index card and tape it to the box the rounds are stored in.
I just checked my Reloading Log ... I haven't done any reloading or shooting in almost 2 months.... I have to say I don't know why I quit for as long as I did because I actually enjoyed doing it tonight. ...

Heck, I haven't yet gotten around to testing the new G42 that I bought in late August ... and my range is in my backyard, so "opportunity" isn't the problem.
Many folks do this stuff pretty steadily while most, I think, operate with, sometimes sizeable, ups & downs.
Not to worry.
Enjoy!
