Zero your rifle with one load and know exactly where a second load will hit, without touching your sights. 300BLK Dope is a ballistic calculator built for .300 Blackout, where switching from supersonic to subsonic ammo can drop your impact a foot at 100 yards. SEE THE SHIFT • Pick a zeroed round and a Round 2, and both fly from the same zero. • The headline shows where Round 2 lands at your distance and the hold to correct it: "12.3 in low · Hold U 11.7 MOA". • The solution updates live as you type. No Calculate button. READ DOPE AT ANY RANGE • Drag across the trajectory chart for drop at any yard. The readout stays put when you lift your finger. • Pinch to zoom, and switch between drop and drift. • The dope card lists up, down, left and right corrections for both loads, plus the shift between them, in MOA or MIL. PHYSICS YOU CAN CHECK • Standard G1 and G7 drag tables indexed by Mach number, the same reference data used by established ballistic solvers. • Air density from station pressure, temperature and humidity, with density altitude and speed of sound shown. • Crosswind drift from a clock-face wind direction. • Miller stability and spin drift when you enter bullet length and barrel twist. 134 FACTORY LOADS BUILT IN • Published ballistic coefficients and muzzle velocities from 26 ammunition makers, supersonic and subsonic. • Search or filter, then tap a load to use it as your zeroed round or Round 2. MADE FOR THE RANGE • Use Current Weather fills temperature, humidity, pressure, altitude and wind speed from Apple Weather for your location. • Save rifles and loads as presets and switch between them in a tap. • Share a PDF dope card with both loads, ready to print. • Dark mode and full VoiceOver support.
