Never lose a load again. ReloadVault is a 100% offline reloading logbook for iPhone. No account. No cloud. No subscription. Every load, batch, chronograph string, group, and target photo stays on your device — and exports anytime to a single backup file, CSV, or printable pages you own forever. YOUR LOGBOOK • Everything about a load in one place: recipe, batches, range results, best group, and best SD • Chronograph stats (average, extreme spread, standard deviation) computed as you type — or paste a whole string of velocities from your Garmin Xero, LabRadar, or MagnetoSpeed export and every shot is added at once • Group size in inches and MOA, with distance, temperature, humidity, wind, and a target photo • Inventory that deducts itself when you log a batch; one tap returns brass and counts the firing • Per-round cost from your real component prices, and savings versus factory ammo • 100+ built-in cartridges, from .17 Hornet to .50 BMG, plus your own LOAD DEVELOPMENT, CHARTED Loads that share a cartridge, bullet, and powder are grouped into a ladder. ReloadVault plots your measured velocity (with SD bars) and your best group against charge weight, and every load with two or more chronographed sessions shows a velocity trend. It charts what you recorded — it never proposes a charge. AMMO BOX LABELS Print any batch as a 4×2 in label: load, bullet, powder and charge, primer, brass, COAL, firearm, date loaded, and count. Fits Avery 5163-compatible sheets, or one per page for label printers. BENCH TOOLS • Bullet stability and twist rate — will this bullet stabilize in your barrel? • Free recoil energy, to compare what two loads will actually feel like • Muzzle energy, momentum, sectional density, ballistic coefficient • Case capacity and load density from your own water-weight measurement • Charge ladder planner that spaces out a work-up between the starting and maximum charge in your own manual Every tool names the published formula it uses, on screen. None of them produce, adjust, or recommend a powder charge. YOUR REFERENCE LIBRARY Load-data publishers require written permission before their data can ship inside an app, so ReloadVault starts with an empty library rather than unlicensed or invented numbers. Build your own from the manuals you already own — every row keeps its source citation and is searchable by cartridge, bullet weight, and powder. Rows you enter are always fully visible, on every tier. YOUR DATA IS YOURS One-tap backup of everything, photos included. Email it to yourself, drop it in Files, keep it forever. Backup, restore, and CSV export are free on every tier — we never hold your data hostage. FREE: full logging for 2 firearms and 5 loads, every bench tool, inventory, range log, and all exports. RELOADVAULT PRO ($14.99 one time — not a subscription): unlimited firearms, loads, and inventory; load development charts; printable box labels; the complete charge ladder planner; and PDF export. Handloading ammunition is inherently dangerous. ReloadVault is a personal record-keeping tool, not a reloading manual, and nothing in it is advice. Always verify every value against current manufacturer published data, start at the published starting charge, and work up carefully. ReloadVault is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by any powder, bullet, or firearm manufacturer.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ReloadVault at 100% against GunVault's 55%. ReloadVault also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GunVault's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
