LoadNode is a precision reloading companion: bench to target. Track every load you develop, enter chronograph velocities with live SD/ES, measure your groups from a photo, and compare your charges with honest uncertainty. FREE • Log rifles, recipes, and load jobs • Charge weight, seating depth and tuner position tests, with live SD and extreme spread • Offline bullet / powder / primer / brass component search • Measure a group from a target photo (size and MOA) • Session conditions with density altitude, entered from your meter or computed • Password-encrypted backup and restore PRO: one-time, yours forever (no subscription) • Unlimited firearms and multi-barrel profiles • Garmin Xero chronograph sync • Velocity and group-vs-charge charts, plus charge comparison with honest uncertainty • Composite analysis: pool groups into 20 to 50-shot statistics • Full target-cam: firing order, on-photo data box, share cards • Neck-tension and shoulder-bump tracking • AI group analysis, with chronograph velocity correlation and observation-based suggestions (technique and environment only, never load advice) • Cost and ROI tracking: per-round cost and return vs factory ammo • Cloud sync and cloud photo backup across your devices • Personal records, medals and a season recap • Recipe versions, reports and the Load Book PDF • Throat-erosion tracking, saved groups, advanced metrics (mean radius, point of impact, scope clicks) and annotated image export An account is optional. Logging, the calculations, group measurement and component search all work offline. Weather autofill, sign-in, purchases, AI analysis and cloud sync need a connection. Handloading is an adult activity. LoadNode is a logbook, not load data: it never tells you what powder or charge to use. Always use current published data and work up safely.
