Ammo Count

and what happens the next time there is an ammo recall and you can't confirm the lot#s of all your loose ammo?

Since all of the ammo I store this way are reloads with the same bullets, powder and primers, I'm not worried about it.

But that is a good point about factory ammo.

I'm in the OCD crowd and proud of it. I have a spreadsheet with conditional formatting to either red or green compared to my minimum requirement. Allows me to know what I need to buy more of when I find it on sale.

I have some experience with Excel as well. I use it at work extensively. Sounds like you have found a use for it at home. Good for you. Personally, I'm not going to waste my time trying to keep those kinds records. Just takes too much effort. But I do use it to keep track of the components I have on hand. It's particularly helpful in figuring out my cost per round.

Aside from .22lr, 90% of what I have is reloads, so I just don't worry about it.
