Hey all
I am getting ready to go to the range this spring since the weather has broken and its getting into the 60's. I got a new AK on election day last year and haven't worked it out much so that will be a priority.
As I was getting my shooting box together I found my old notebook that I have kept since 2006. My system is to shoot the gun in 3 or 5 shot groups and then cut out the target and tape it in the book for future reference.
Since I reload, I have the ability to custom load to each weapon for the best performance, this book helps me remember what I am doing and the performance I got out of each load. Yes the bullets are not in the "bulls eye" because my current ammo type is zeroed for that gun but I get an idea of the accuracy of the load in the gun, If I want to shoot it, this book tells me the adjustments I need to make to the scope to hit dead center.
Here are a few pictures out of the book, I usually put the caliber, bullet type, powder used and the grains of that powder and the date. If I am using a unusual primer I put that in too. If I chronographed the loads I put the velocity as well.
This is a 5x7 spiral wound notebook, These are usually at the local range off of cement tables unless noted. I hunt with Steady-Stix which is a fiberglass deployable bipod which I am a great fan of, one of the pictures is off of "sticks" at 50 yards.
