Zero your rifle with one load and know exactly where a second load will hit, without touching your sights. OneZero is a ballistic calculator for 139 cartridges, from .17 HMR to .50 BMG, made for the range and the hunt. Use it for supersonic and subsonic .300 Blackout, a match load and a hunting load, or any two rounds you shoot from one zero. Or use it with just one. 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". • Only one load? Turn off the second round, and the headline and dope card show its velocity, energy and time of flight instead. • The solution updates live as you type. YOUR HOLD ON YOUR WRIST • When your buck steps out, there's no phone to dig out: the Apple Watch app has your holds on your wrist. • Range it, turn the Digital Crown to the distance, 5 yards at a time, and read the elevation and windage holds. • Set up target cards for your shooting lanes before the hunt, and each one's hold is a swipe away. • Windage follows the watch's compass, so you can face the deer and read the hold. • Your setup stays on the watch, so it works with your phone left in the truck. • Tap a round to change its muzzle velocity, or the wind to set it. Changes go back to your iPhone. • Weather Updates fetch the weather where you are every 15 minutes while it's open, and today's sunrise and sunset sit beside the clock. READ DOPE AT ANY RANGE • Drag across the trajectory chart for drop at any yard; 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. 4,266 FACTORY LOADS BUILT IN • Browse your cartridge's factory loads, with published ballistic coefficients and muzzle velocities, many with bullet length and a G7 BC. • Search or filter supersonic and subsonic, then tap a load to use it. TARGET CARDS • Add the targets you'll shoot at, each with its distance, angle and direction, and see both loads' holds for every one. • Shoot uphill or downhill: holds are worked out along the line of sight, as your rangefinder reads it. • Point your iPhone at a target to fill in its direction and angle. Give a target a direction, and with the wind's direction set, it gets its own wind clock. TRUE YOUR BC • Add the groups you fired past your zero: the elevation you dialed or where each landed, with your chronograph velocity and that day's conditions. • OneZero fits the ballistic coefficient that matches them all and shows how firmly they pin it down. Use it, or save it to your load. WIND FROM YOUR COMPASS • Use Current Weather fills in temperature, humidity, pressure and altitude, and the wind's speed and the direction it blows from. • Tap Target Direction and point your iPhone at the target, and OneZero works out the wind's clock direction and the shot angle. You can still pick them by hand. PHYSICS YOU CAN CHECK • Standard G1 and G7 drag tables indexed by Mach number. • Air density from station pressure, temperature and humidity, with density altitude and speed of sound shown. • Wind from any direction: crosswind drift by the lag-time method, and head and tail winds in the drag. • Miller stability and spin drift from your cartridge's bullet diameter, bullet length and barrel twist, corrected for muzzle velocity and air density. • Coriolis from your latitude, with its vertical part for the target's direction. • Uphill and downhill shots, with gravity split along and across the line of sight. MADE FOR THE RANGE • Save rifles and loads as presets and switch between them in a tap. • Share a PDF dope card with your loads, ready to print. • On iPhone Duo, see Setup and the live solution side by side, split at the fold. • Dark mode and full VoiceOver support. Always confirm your dope with live fire before relying on it. Weather data provided by Apple Weather.
