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. Tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEdAAIdcBjSQmYqolva1rO6RQ7Kb9W47 The Bullet Maker is not tied to any manufacturer, but most manufactures' products are easily selectable within the application, no need to type it in yourself. 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. Since The Bullet Maker is a cloud base solution, use it on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac silicon devices at any time and stay in sync across all devices. Lose you phone or iPad? No problem, all the data is stored in the cloud, not on the device, just sign on with the new device when you get it, and you are good to go. The Bullet Maker will track load performance by firearm. 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. A firearm performance record can track as much or as little information as you want for a load based on what you are trying to record. Easily find performance record by any reloading component through the performance lookup. Easily download all your reloading activity through the Data Export tool. All your reloading activity, purchases and performance are downloaded to tab delimited files to keep just in case you need to go back to the old paper logbook, want to import the data into something other tool you use, or just want it for safekeeping. It is always good to have a backup of everything anyway. A free Data Export download is available every 30 days with a per use fee for additional Data Exports. The Bullet Maker is not free, a monthly fee is charged for use. All new accounts can utilize a 7 day free trail followed by a paid monthly subscription. Subscriptions are discounted by term: 6 months or 1 year. A subscription allows uses of the application plus a free Data Export download 30 days from the last Data Export download.
