Athlon Ballistics vs LoadBench

Athlon Ballistics is the companion app for Athlon Optics shooters. Use it with your Athlon chronograph, with supported Athlon thermal scopes and clip-ons, or on its own as a ballistic calculator. CHRONOGRAPH • Connects to your Athlon chronograph over Bluetooth, automatically when it is near. • Live screen: see the velocity of every shot as you fire, with average, extreme spread (ES), standard deviation (SD), maximum, minimum and energy. • Name each session, add notes, and link it to a rifle and a bullet. • Compare and merge sessions. • Sessions sync to your account and come back on a new phone. • Export sessions to a spreadsheet and share them. • Update the chronograph firmware from the app. BALLISTIC CALCULATOR • Firing solutions with G1 and G7 drag models. • A library of factory cartridges and bullets. Add your own bullet with its BC, weight and length. • Rifle and bullet profiles with sight height, twist rate and zero distance. • Live local weather for the solution, or enter the conditions yourself. • Ballistic charts with your own ranges and steps. Export them to a spreadsheet. ATHLON RETICLES • See your hold on the real Athlon reticle for your scope. ATHLON THERMAL SCOPES • Quick Connect: pick your supported Athlon thermal scope or clip-on, including the new Athlon DCM, and the app joins its Wi-Fi network for you. • Live view from the scope. On supported scopes, take photos and videos that save to the scope's card, then save them to your phone from the scope's album. • Send rifle and bullet profiles to the scope's ballistic calculator. On DCM scopes, holdover marks come from your profiles. • Change reticle type and color, and set BDC holdovers on supported scopes. YOUR DATA • Sign in with email, Google or Apple. Profiles and sessions stay with your account. • Imperial and metric units. English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. • Delete your account from the app at any time.

Every reloading app can log components. LoadBench helps you find the perfect load. Stop the frustrating guesswork of load development. LoadBench is a powerful analysis tool designed to guide you through the process of finding your firearm's most accurate and consistent recipe. We go beyond simple record-keeping to help you visualize your results and make data-driven decisions. VISUALIZE YOUR PERFECT LOAD: This is what sets LoadBench apart. Our app is built around the core tasks of load development: Powder Charge Testing: Easily log every shot across a range of powder charges. LoadBench then calculates the velocity statistics (SD, ES) for each charge, allowing you to visually identify the "node"—the charge that produces the most consistent muzzle velocity. Seating Depth (OAL) Testing: Systematically test different seating depths and record your group sizes. Our interface lets you visually compare the accuracy results to find the OAL that produces the tightest groups for your firearm. Instead of hunting through a notebook, you can see clear, side-by-side comparisons that make your best load combination obvious. ORGANIZED BY FIREARM: Every test and every piece of data is tied to a specific firearm. Optimize loads for your entire collection and easily access your "favorite" and most accurate recipes for each gun. COMPREHENSIVE LOGGING SUPPORT: Of course, we have the essentials covered. Log all your components (bullets, powder, primers, brass), environmental conditions, and detailed notes to support your load development process. INTEGRATED BALLISTICS CALCULATOR: Once you've found your perfect load, use our built-in calculator to analyze its downrange performance. Compare trajectories and understand the capabilities of your optimized handloads before you go to a match or a hunt. YOUR DATA, SECURE & PRIVATE: We believe your data is yours alone. All of your reloading and firearm information is encrypted at rest on your device for the utmost privacy. For users who want to analyze data on a computer and log at the range, our optional premium subscription offers multi-device syncing. This service is built with end-to-end encryption, meaning no one but you can ever access your data—not even us. Stop just logging data. Start using it. Download LoadBench and take the guesswork out of precision reloading.
