Welcome to The Bullet Maker, a companion application for the hobbyist reloader. The Bullet Maker is a cloud enabled reloading log application. The Bullet Maker will not tell you how to reload but can track everything you do on the press. Born from the frustration of trying to keep multiple spreadsheets of purchases, reloading activities, and load performance while trying to figure out how much an individual round costs. At its core, The Bullet Maker is just trying to make a reloader’s life a little easier. The Bullet Maker is a metallic cartridge reloading log, performance tracker, and inventory management tool. Not only does it allow you to make load workups and track all your reloading activities on the press, if you want, it can track purchases and maintains your reloading component inventory while automatically costing out every batch and round you make.

Make your own components or use older components? No problem, use the new component entry forms to add these components and they become selectable to you. Creating loads blends the ability to select from manufacturers’ products along with any component you add. Adding inventory or purchases, simply use the product pickers within the application or just scan in the UPC code.

Track as much about the day as you want: time, temp, wind, humidity, etc. Track accuracy if you want. Track velocities if you want and have The Bullet Maker compute the average, standard deviation, extreme spread, and power factor for you.
