No problem with records at all. Most everything I've fired since around 1986 is on file. When the notes & loads started getting out of hand way back before we all relied so heavily on computers, my shooting buddy & I sat down & drew up a results sheet. For $25 or so at the local printer we got 500 pages, 3 ring punched. It's on its 4th or 5th revision, but is still what I do. The notebooks use dividers for the different chamberings, which are also a good place to keep often used data like BTO for touch with different bullets, H20 capacity of case brands, case forming notes, etc. Load data including lot #s, results, observations are all at my fingertips even if there is a power outage or the computer dies unexpectedly taking with it all my files (this happened once way before there were flash drives & I was pissed) or the ability to access the interweb. The data will be helpful if the grid ever goes down or who knows? what happens.
Targets are also filed by chambering & date so it's easy to X-reference with the results sheet. I keep the failures too so, hopefully, they aren't repeated 15 or 20 years hence as I get more forgetful. The kids will also have the data when they inherit the guns.
Yeah, it's a disease. I rather enjoy it.
