I assign a lot number to each reload using the date of the original loading. The boxes get the lot number, gauge, length, shot weight, and size. Basically what info is on a box of factory shells and the lot number references me back to the "book" I keep with every reload, good or bad, I've loaded in the last many, many years. All segregated by gauge. I NEVER leave orphan shells out, always return them to the box even if there are only a handfull ( or even 1) that didn't get fired. This has kept me out of trouble since high school days and my first 20 ga. loader 50+ years ago!
