    labels for ammo boxes

    I found a link out in the internet somewhere that had a PDF to print labels for ammo boxes. Has anyone tried this, and would they be willing to send me the pdf only without having to get the zip file? Just looking for the blank one, not caliber specific.


    Thanks,
    Doug

    I've done it and printed off a bunch of them but I had a computer crash and since lost the file. It worked well on store bought address blanks I had.

    I just use the Avery wizard in MS Word. You can print on real labels if you like or just plain paper, cut each one out, and put in box with ammo.

    My ammo doesn't seem to stay in the cans long enough to put a label on the cans. I only load .45ACP, and .223. However I did make some labels, (worksheets) to go in the 1 gallon coffee cans to keep me updated with which step in the process they were, for about 8 to 10 cans at a time. Tumbled and clean, deprimed, re-sized, trimmed and beveled, primed. keeps me form repeating steps.

    I find scotch tape sticks a little better to my plastic ammo boxes that the sticker labels. I print labels on plain paper in Word (with the info I want) and then tape them on the boxes.

    It takes some time and patience but I like it.

    Take a 3 X 5 card and cut out your letters. Now use the card as a mask and spraypaint your ammo can and ammo boxes to show the contents. Will not fade or wash off.

    labels

    I use a felt tip black marker on the top of each box. If the next load is different then one quick swipe with a rag that has mineral spirts brings the box back to new.

    I set out to print labels for my boxes of loaded rounds.

    This involved researching every label on the planet. Which involved a trip to the factory.

    Then I set my records up in a database.

    Which involved researching databases, and going back to school to study database theory.

    Once I had my database designed, I started researching what I had been trained to call "database management systems."

    I came quickly to the conclusion that, since most of the low end systems wouldn't support rationalization past the the third normal form, that there wasn't a convenient system, since it is theoretically possible for a construct made of bullet, brass, primer and propellent to require Bryce-Codd.

    So I set out to write one.

    This, of course, required another return to school, and learning how to code.

    First came the basics, C and some other nightmare, called Pearl, that almost caused a heart attack. It certainly caused acute anxiety, and damn near caused a divorce. But I digress.

    Then onward and upward, to C++, Cocoa, and advanced string theory.

    With my divorce final, I sat down and wrote my database, and catalogued my loads.

    After all those years, as I hit "Print", for the first printing of a perfectly stored, efficiently available label, I discovered that she'd taken the printer.

    I've been thinking of building one, optimized for printing labels...

    I have excellent results with my Dymo 400 Labelwriter.

    The labels stick tight even to plastic ammo boxes but yet they are removable when you went to.
