Ammo Caliber Usage Chart

A new report that graphs the usage of all calibers over time, Ammo Usage Over Time has been added. The report can be accessed from the system report menu at the end of the Graphs section.

Ammo Usage Over Time Menu Option

Each caliber will have a line in the chart with a total of the number of rounds shot for each year. Clicking on the caliber in the legend (at the top of the graph) will toggle the caliber line in the chart, making it easier to analyse a specific caliber. This new report can be used to see trends in the ammo that you are using. This information can help in making decisions about reloading component purchases or ammo inventory stocking.

User Message

When entering range notes it is often useful to review maintenance notes, the new Maintenance History panel provides direct access to this information. By default, the panel will be closed but can be quickly opened by clicking on the Maintenance History text in the header. A count of the number of notes has been added to the end of the header text in parentheses. This new panel will provide a quick reference to all maintenance notes and images.

User Message

On the far right of the header is a button that can be used to include or exclude images in the notes. Removing images can make reading the notes easier.

Caliber Grouping System

A Caliber Grouping System has been added to ArmoryBook.

To make the explanation below easier to follow, an explanation on how caliber assignment is currently utilized in ArmoryBook is required. Currently each gun is assigned a caliber, this caliber is used to limit the Ammo Shot list in the Range Information screen. Only ammo of the assigned caliber is listed. This is done to make the list shorter and more manageable. A side effect is that guns that can shoot multiple calibers do not have access to any calibers other then what was originally assigned.

The new Caliber Grouping System allows multiple ammo calibers to be included as available ammo when entering range information. For example, allowing .223 and 5.56 ammo to be listed for a gun an AR group can be created. All calibers added to a caliber group will be available for any gun with a caliber in that group. The system comes with NO pre-configured caliber groups. Caliber groups are configured from the Caliber Groups option under the main menu gear icon.

User Message

To add a caliber group simple hit the icon and enter a descriptive name for your new group, next place a check next to all caliber that you want associated with this group. Keep in mind that YOU are determining the caliber groups and are responsible for selecting the proper ammo for each gun.

User Message

Looking at the image below you can see that both .223 and 5.56 ammo is available in the Ammo Shot options.

Range Screen Ammo Shot Layout

The ability to change the way ammo information is displayed in the Range screen has been added. Depending on how the system is being used, each user may wish to have different information displayed to make ammo identification/selection easier. There are 4 different options to choose from:

Example Information
9mm (SGAmmo - 2020-08-20) # 100 Caliber, Source, Purchase Date, Rnds Avail
9mm - Hornady (SGAmmo - 2020-08-20) # 100 Caliber, Brand, Source, Purchase Date, Rnds Avail

9mm (Hornady - Brass, 2020-08-20) # 100 Caliber, Brand, Type, Purchase Date, Rnds Avail

The original ammo layout is option 1, Caliber, Source, Purchase Date and Rounds Available. The new system default will be Caliber, Brand, Source, Purchase Date, and Rounds Available. The Ammo Shot Layout setting is configured from the System Settings option under the main gear menu icon.
