How do you keep inventory?

No need for inventory here. I am 59 1/2 years old if I am fortunate enough to live until I’m 80 and continue to shoot at that age I have more than enough. My kids will probably have a yard sale and darn giveaway what is left. And anybody that comes to buy will think they hit the jackpot with what is left after I’m done.
Joe will be coming for it, you don't need to worry what to do with it..... I have a lot of fertilizer ..... lol..... jim
I don't keep an inventory of what I have. I sit down at my loading bench and make a list of what I want. I can see all my inventory from my reloading bench so it is easy to make a wish list. It is all in one room. That list usually goes with me to Tulsa twice a year before the virus messed that up. Got a big list for the spring show.

Moved last spring (2019)... lots of stuff got shoved wherever it would fit. Finally had to start organizing/inventorying things in the early fall, after I 'found' 10k+ bullets that I had somehow forgotten about. That, and having enough powder/primers/bullets to the point where I was having difficulty keeping a running track of how much I had of what.
For now, I've got most of it in a Google Sheet, one worksheet each for powder, primers and bullets, with another sheet for data validation lists.

I kept track of the Tornado radar warning power supply's 3000 components and embedded the stress calculations in Lotus 123 in 1988 on an IBM 486.
32 years later I track 310 reloading dies and their neck sizes on whatever microsoft open office xl spreadsheet this computer came with.
The brass and dies may be 4 file folder boxes all labeled "7mmRM' or one folder file box labeled "45 Colt 455 Eley 41 Colt" with three cartridges sharing one box.

Excel is the best tool a shooter/loader can have. Be it load data, inventory, scope Dope or round count.
It seems that Feds do not have rules for the storage of gun powder for personal use in small arms. From the ATF website:
Is smokeless powder designed for use in small arms ammunition subject to the explosives storage requirements?
Smokeless powders designed for use in small arms ammunition are exempt from regulation under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 40 and the regulations in 27 CFR Part 555. Packaging that readily identifies the smokeless powder as being designed for use in small arms ammunition may help in determining whether it is entitled to the exemption. Smokeless powder designed for use other than in small arms ammunition, and explosive products such as squibs, fireworks, theatrical special effects, or other articles that may contain smokeless powders, are regulated and must be stored pursuant to the regulations at 27 CFR 555, Subpart K – Storage.

Meaning, such storage will be regulated by the state/county/local municipality, if at all, and so the total amount allowed will vary from one jurisdiction to the next.
Many places want each 50lbs of smokeless powder in a wooden box made of 1" thick wood. The idea is that the wood will provide about and hour of protection before the powder burns, and in most places that is enough time for the fire dept to get there.
