Ammunition

​

Overview

The Ammunition module manages your organization’s ammo inventory and reloading operation. It is split into two tabs: Ammunition for tracking lots of factory and hand-loaded ammo, and Reloading Bench for managing components, recipes, and tools.

​

Ammunition tab

The Ammunition tab lists every lot in inventory. The header shows total rounds on hand and total estimated inventory value across all lots.

​

Adding a factory ammo lot

1. Navigate to Ammunition in the left sidebar.
2. Click + Add Ammo.
3. Leave the Hand Loaded toggle off.
4. Select a caliber from the dropdown, or choose Other (custom) and type it in.
5. Fill in brand, product line, grain weight, bullet type, casing material, and purpose.
6. Enter the quantity (round count), and optionally set a low-stock alert threshold, cost per round, and storage location.
7. Optionally assign the lot to a designated firearm, and record the purchase date, lot number, and product URL.
8. Save.

Common calibers

The caliber picker includes common options. Enter a free-text caliber for anything not in the list: 9mm · .45 ACP · .40 S&W · .380 ACP · 10mm Auto · .357 Magnum · .357 SIG · .38 Special · .44 Magnum · .22 LR · .22 WMR · .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO · .308 Win / 7.62 NATO · 6.5 Creedmoor · 6.5 Grendel · .300 Blackout · .300 Win Mag · 7.62×39mm · .338 Lapua Magnum · 12 Gauge · 20 Gauge · .410 Bore

​

Bullet types

FMJ · JHP · HP · HPBT · SP · JSP · OTM · Frangible · Tracer · Subsonic · Buckshot · Slug · Other

​

Purpose

Each lot can be tagged with a purpose — Defensive, Training, Competition, Hunting, or Other — which is shown as a color-coded badge in the inventory list.

​

Hand-loaded lots

Toggle Hand Loaded on to log a lot produced from your own reloading bench. In this mode:

• The brand and product line fields are replaced with a Reloading Recipe selector that pulls from your Reloading Bench recipes.
• Selecting a recipe auto-populates the caliber and calculates the cost per round from the component costs defined in the recipe.
• A Date Loaded field replaces the purchase date.

Hand-loaded lots appear in the inventory list alongside factory ammo and count toward totals the same way.

​

Low-stock alerts

Set a Low Stock Alert threshold (round count) on any lot. When inventory falls below that number, the quantity is highlighted amber in the list. When a lot reaches zero rounds it is highlighted red. The default alert threshold if none is set is 100 rounds.

​

Adjusting quantity

Open a lot from the list and click Restock to add rounds, or Adjust to set the quantity directly. Range Day sessions automatically deduct rounds fired from the designated firearm’s linked ammo lot when a drill result is recorded.

​

Designated firearm

Assigning a Designated Firearm to a lot links that ammo to a specific firearm in the Armory. This drives automatic round deduction when range sessions are logged and appears on the firearm’s detail page.

​

Reloading Bench tab

The Reloading Bench is a full sub-module for hand-loaders. It tracks the four component types (projectiles, powder, primers, brass), reloading recipes that combine them into a named load, and the equipment used to load them.

​

Components

Components are the raw materials for hand-loading. Each type has its own inventory section within the Reloading Bench.

​

Projectiles

​

Powder

​

Primers

​

Brass

​

Recipes

A recipe defines a complete hand-load by combining components with specific charges and seating dimensions. Identification fields:

• Name (e.g. “168gr Varget Match Load”)
• Caliber
• Purpose: Match, Hunting, Plinking, Defensive, Subsonic, Other
• Target firearm (optional — links the recipe to a specific Armory firearm)

Component fields:

• Projectile, Powder, Primer, Brass — each selected from your bench inventory

Charge and seating fields:

• Powder charge (grains)
• Crimp type: None, Taper, Roll, Factory, Other
• COAL (cartridge overall length, inches)
• CBTO (cartridge base to ogive, inches)
• Seat depth (inches)

Performance fields:

• Velocity (fps), SD (fps), ES (fps)
• Accuracy (MOA)
• Pressure signs (free text — e.g. “None”, “Sticky bolt at max charge”)
• Proven load checkbox — mark a recipe as field-validated

Tools used: Select which tools from your bench inventory were used to load this recipe. Per-round cost: The recipe detail view shows a cost donut chart breaking down the per-round cost contribution from each component (projectile, powder, primer, brass) based on the cost fields and charge weight stored in your bench inventory.

Tools

The Tools section tracks your reloading equipment. Tool categories: Die · Press · Scale · Tumbler · Case Trimmer · Deprimer · Annealer · Calipers · Headspace Gauge · Bullet Comparator · Powder Thrower · Priming Tool · Case Prep · Other Each tool records name, manufacturer, model, caliber (if applicable), condition (New / Good / Used / Needs Service / Retired), purchase price, and notes.
