Record keeping

At the moment I am jotting down the information about my loads and the results from them in a notebook. I was thinking it would be kind of nice to have a 'proper' log book with tables and what have you printed in it ready for filling in any findings and other information.
It might be a daft question but does such a thing exist or would I be better off printing some charts from the internet and filing them accordingly. If the latter where might I find some good ones?

Many thanks.

We use our own home made spreadsheet.

Print them of when full.

It is handy info for when the FEO visits.

It lists:

Date, calibre, powder, bullet, temperature, barometric pressure, how many and probably more I can't remember right now on the left side and then on the right side where shot, how many, date, probably more. Now the way it works is that the number left on the last date entry is how many rounds one should find left in the safe.

Thankyou, I never thought of using Excel, doh! We use a separate notebook to keep stock of our ammo and bit and pieces.

We use Open Office, being cheapskates, and have a reloading log plus a range attendance log. The latter has details of who was there, what rifles were used, no of rounds fired, weather, incidents, etc.
Never had an FEO ask to see them, though.............

Norman Clark is giving away "Reloading with Rosie" / Edgar Bros branded reloading log books. Proper paper that you can write in with a pencil !
