ApexLOAD FIELD is the range companion app in the ApexLOAD family — built for everything you do at the range, not at the desk. SHOOT Full ballistic solver in your pocket. Enter your bullet, muzzle velocity, and zero, and get instant come-up and windage in MOA or clicks, a sortable trajectory table (velocity, energy, Mach, drop), key metrics like MPBR and optimum zero, and a trajectory graph comparing your current zero against the optimum. Dial in wind speed and direction on an interactive wind dial and watch the numbers update live. MEASURE Log chronograph strings against your saved loads and weapons, and track velocity and pressure over your reloading history at a glance. ANALYZE Snap a photo of a target and let AI find your shots for you. ApexLOAD FIELD detects the group automatically and reports group size in both mm and MOA. DATABASE Keep profiles for every weapon, cartridge, and bullet you shoot, plus a running diary of every load you've built — synced with your ApexLOAD PRO account, so your bench data and range data live in one place. DISCUSS Threaded discussions with other shooters, hunters, and reloaders, right inside the app. Everything you log in the field flows straight back into ApexLOAD PRO, so nothing gets lost between the bench and the range.
