## What is Loadscope Ballistics?

Loadscope scores every powder charge and seating depth you tested -- across four metrics that show up on target -- and picks your winning load automatically. No squinting at a ladder graph to call it by eye.

This companion carries that exact load to the range and keeps it honest in the field. It is not another ballistic calculator fed with guesses. It runs the confirmed load you built in Loadscope on Mac or Windows -- your bullet, your velocity, your trued dial -- and re-solves it live as conditions change.

At the line, in seconds:

- Live DOPE re-solve. Pull current local conditions automatically, powered by Apple Weather -- density altitude, temperature, and pressure re-solve your dial on the spot. The number you dial is for your load, not a library average.

- Measure shot groups from a photo. Photograph your target, set the scale, and mark each shot -- Loadscope reads group size and mean radius in inches, MOA, and mil, plus your dial-to-center. Powder or seating-depth ladders, several targets a session, custom calibers. Pull them into your working load on the desktop over Wi-Fi, each target matched to its charge or seating depth.

- Real wind math. Enter speed and direction on a glove-friendly wind rose; the app computes the actual crosswind component for you -- full-value trig, no eyeballing "half value." Enter a gust range (say 8-12 mph) and see your windage spread.

- DOPE card library. Every confirmed load, sorted by rifle and recent, searchable.

- Recipe cards. Your components -- bullet, powder and charge, primer, brass, CBTO -- as a clean read-only reference at the bench.

- Round count. Tap "+N" for the rounds you just ran; it syncs back to that barrel's count on the desktop.

- Works with zero signal. Offline-first. Loads sync from the desktop by file or QR -- no account, no cloud, no backend.

- iPhone and iPad, one app. iPad opens to a wider layout -- load list, DOPE, and recipe side by side.

Free to download. A one-time $9.99 unlock adds phone-side load entry -- and it's free if you own Loadscope on Mac or Windows (just enter your license key). No subscription. No ads. No data collected.

### 5/5 — Great app for load dev

*2026-06-28*

One of the easier apps out there.  Even keeps load recipes and barrel rounds.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this — glad it's working for you. Keeping your recipes and barrel round-count in one place was the whole idea. More coming.

## Frequently asked questions about Loadscope Ballistics

### What is Loadscope Ballistics?

Loadscope Ballistics is a companion app that uses your confirmed rifle loads to provide live ballistics adjustments based on changing environmental conditions. It also allows you to measure shot groups from photos and track your rifle's round count.

### How does Loadscope Ballistics re-solve DOPE live?

It automatically pulls current local conditions like density altitude, temperature, and pressure via Apple Weather to re-solve your dial on the spot. This ensures the number you dial is specific to your load, not a general average.

### Can Loadscope Ballistics measure shot groups?

Yes, you can photograph your target, set the scale, and mark each shot. Loadscope Ballistics reads group size and mean radius in inches, MOA, and mil, along with your dial-to-center measurement.

### Does Loadscope Ballistics work offline?

Yes, Loadscope Ballistics is designed to be offline-first. Loads can be synced from the desktop version by file or QR code, meaning no account, cloud, or backend is required for operation.

### What are the pricing details for Loadscope Ballistics?

The app is free to download. A one-time $9.99 unlock is required for phone-side load entry. This unlock is free if you already own Loadscope on Mac or Windows, by entering your license key.

### Does Loadscope Ballistics have ads?

No, Loadscope Ballistics is ad-free. The app explicitly states that there are no subscriptions or advertisements.

### What devices is Loadscope Ballistics compatible with?

Loadscope Ballistics is available for both iPhone and iPad. The iPad version offers a wider layout, displaying the load list, DOPE, and recipe side by side.

### How often is Loadscope Ballistics updated?

The latest version is 1.1.1, released on June 30, 2026. This indicates a recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support for the application.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.14 — 2026-08-11

Pull any saved load from your computer, not just the one you have open. The list now shows every load you have saved, with its powder and charge beside the name.

Picking targets to send is fixed. The list opens with nothing ticked, so tapping a target sends that target. Each row now shows the target photo and the date you measured it.

Requires the matching Loadscope desktop update for the full load list.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-07-14

Name your loads: give a load a name when you build it, and it shows up with your name (not just the recipe) when you send it to Loadscope on your computer.

Send the rifles and recipes you build here straight to Loadscope on your computer over Wi-Fi.

Your DOPE cards, recipes, barrels, and saved target groups now sync automatically over iCloud between your iPhone and iPad.

A clearer, more reliable sync screen, plus stability fixes.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-02

Saved groups got a big upgrade:
- Tap any saved target to open it full screen and pinch to zoom in on your shots.
- Every group now shows the full readout -- group size, mean radius, and point-of-impact offset in inches, MOA, and mils.
- Several groups shot on one target now show as a single entry with each bull labeled, instead of a separate photo per group.

Plus: the app now lets you know when an update is available on the App Store.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-30

Improvements to in-app target measuring:
- Fixed a rare crash when opening a saved target
- Shot markers are now a clean ring you can see your group through
- Print a saved target, plus clearer step-by-step measuring instructions
- Smoother aim-point placement, with stability and accuracy fixes

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-29

Measure your shot groups right on your phone -- then sync them into your working load on the desktop.

- New Measure tool: take a photo of your target, set the scale, and mark each shot. You get group size, mean radius, and your dial-to-center in MOA or mil -- on every target.
- Built for a ladder: mark several targets in one session, label each with its powder charge or seating depth, and measure as many targets as a sheet holds. Custom calibers for a true-to-size ring on every hole.
- Import from phone: with Loadscope on Mac or Windows, pull your measured groups straight into your working load over Wi-Fi -- each target matched to its charge automatically, so your groups score against your chronograph data with no retyping.

Plus the live DOPE, Apple Weather, and round-count tracking you already run.
