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.
