RSI Shooting lab Software
Thinking about a computer program to log loads etc- this one looks fairly complete -
www.shootingsoftware.com
Does any one use this - thoughts . comments ?
 
I have used it but I am a notebook guy at heart. I don't use Windows anymore and they don't support Mac that I know of. It does interface directly with the CED chronograph so originally that was the draw for me. I don't have any experience with other programs to compare it to but it seemed pretty comprehensive. I liked it for the time I used it and would again if there was a Mac version. I may fire up an old notebook and just use it on my bench for that.
 
Same situation - running Mac so I asked them and this was reply:

"You will find there really isn't much for shooters that will work
on Macs.

We started business as a Mac software company. With advent of the
Intel Macs, more Mac owners bought Windows versions. Why? Because
all the devices for shooting do not support Macs. Chronographs,
powder dispensers, etc. do not work with Macs. Mac owners could
use Apple's Free Bootcamp to boot into windows and run everything
available.

We continued selling the Mac version until it did not even pay for
annual licensing costs of development tools, then the writing was
on the wall. That is now more than 10 years ago.

Your solution is to get an old copy of Windows from someone (even
an OEM version will work if you have the key sticker number that
was on the bottom of the computer) and download Apple's Bootcamp.
Then you can run anything that is available with full connectivity.
Windows 7 would be my choice."
and
"Actually, Shooting Lab has a built in backup utility that writes
one big compressed zip file you can keep on a thumb drive, cd or
another hard drive. You can then also easily move data back and
forth from your range laptop and an old clunk on the reloading
bench."
That said, my son is going to load up a windows 7 - I already have a old windows version running some old 98 Sidekick software I have refused to give up because 29 years of my life was on it and there was no program to auto convert to a newer one.
So currently thats the plan if I like the demo after uploaded.
Sam - thanks for the comeback - have not heard a negative about it yet except won't run on Mac LOL
 
It's funny you brought this up because just last week I pulled out the disk and investigated the Mac issue. I just finished moving my reloading gear which I haven't used much the last few years and am setting up again in a new location. My original setup was from when I started out and was built out over time. This time I have all the equipment I need, not planning on adding any new calibers, and have mostly settled on components that I will use. Plus all the lessons learned. I have all the old files and the rifles used. All I am doing right now is sorting thru brass and running it thru the tumbler. I'm not doing anything more until all my brass is clean and sorted. The Windows notebook runs fine and won't be used for anything else so I'm going to give it a go.
