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.
