Wrist Dope vs Loadscope Ballistics

A real ballistic calculator built for Apple Watch first — not a phone app's afterthought. It runs standalone on your wrist; the iPhone companion is a full app, synced. FREE TO DOWNLOAD The full calculator is free on iPhone and Apple Watch. Wrist Dope Pro — a one-time $39.99, no subscription — unlocks Field Trueing, Match Mode, scanning, Siri, auto environmentals, live complications, printable range cards, and unlimited profiles — buy or restore on the watch. Accuracy is never gated. WHEN THE SHOT WON'T WAIT No time to dig out a wind meter and thumb through a calculator. Raise your wrist, dial the range, read your hold. Send it. Glanceable and dial-driven, with real math underneath. A SERIOUS ENGINE, NOT A TOY - True point-mass solver with G1/G7 drag models - Coriolis, spin drift, aero jump, and incline compensation - Holds in MIL or MOA — plus velocity, energy, time of flight - Validated against published reference trajectories - Advanced Settings (Pro): switch each correction on or off LIVE FIRE Dial the range; the solution updates instantly. A color-coded arrow shows wind at a glance; multi-wind previews holds across wind speeds. The display stays awake on the gun — no dimming between shots. FIELD TRUEING Correct the solver to what your rifle actually did. True your muzzle velocity from a chronograph or a group at distance, then your BC on a transonic target. It checks your zero and barrel length first and refuses ranges that can't tell you anything. Trued numbers flow to the Range Card, Live Fire, and the watch. MATCH MODE — THE STAGE CARD, SOLVED Build a match as stages and targets, then glance-read the active stage: every target's range and live-solved holds, shot order in one line. Enter on watch or iPhone; arm it and the Stage Card lands on both. Share it as a .wdmatch file — the whole squad imports it. AIRGUN READY Pellet-real ammo — tenth-grain weights, BCs to 0.005 — and eleven airgun calibers from .177 (4.5mm) to .72. Pick one and the gun sets itself up: 30 m zero, pellet load, close-range card. SCOPE LEVEL — FREE ANTI-CANT A canted rifle misses wide at distance. Zero the level to your rifle and hold by ear — audio and haptic cues, eyes on target. Pro puts a live level behind Live Fire, the Range Card, and the Stage Card. Mount the watch at any angle; the sensors follow. HIT PROBABILITY AND THE ETHICAL SHOT Lock a target for a real first-round-hit percentage from your velocity SD, group size, and wind call, plus a terminal check rating energy and impact velocity for your game. HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI "Hey Siri, Dope for 250" speaks your hold — watch and iPhone. Wind and target by voice, too. POINT-AND-LOCK THE FIELD Aim downrange, tap to lock target; aim downwind, tap to lock wind and dial speed — read on the shooter's clock face. RANGE CARD ON YOUR WRIST A full dope table from your chosen minimum. Dial to scroll; rows auto-center. YOUR DOPE ON THE WATCH FACE Seven complications: a mini range card on your dialed distance, holds, target, density altitude, and active load. YOUR RIFLES, YOUR LOADS Build rifle and load profiles on the watch — no phone required; a badge marks the load your scope is zeroed for. On iPhone, scan a factory ammo barcode and the load builds itself, or pick from a bullet catalog with factory BCs. Export a printable dope card; back up your library to a file you control. YOUR CONDITIONS, YOUR UNITS Pressure, temperature, altitude, humidity, and wind each toggle AUTO or MANUAL. Metric or imperial — one switch or per-unit overrides, synced across devices. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Your profiles and readings stay on your device. Weather comes from Apple Weather on request. Built for hunters, PRS, precision shooters, and airgunners who want a first-round-hit hold without unpacking a bag of gear. Runs on Apple Watch Series 4 and later. Wrist Dope is a calculation aid. Always verify your data and shoot safely, responsibly, and within the law.

Loadscope scores every powder charge and seating depth you tested -- across four metrics that show up on target -- and picks your winning load automatically. No squinting at a ladder graph to call it by eye. This companion carries that exact load to the range and keeps it honest in the field. It is not another ballistic calculator fed with guesses. It runs the confirmed load you built in Loadscope on Mac or Windows -- your bullet, your velocity, your trued dial -- and re-solves it live as conditions change. At the line, in seconds: - Live DOPE re-solve. Pull current local conditions automatically, powered by Apple Weather -- density altitude, temperature, and pressure re-solve your dial on the spot. The number you dial is for your load, not a library average. - Measure shot groups from a photo. Photograph your target, set the scale, and mark each shot -- Loadscope reads group size and mean radius in inches, MOA, and mil, plus your dial-to-center. Powder or seating-depth ladders, several targets a session, custom calibers. Pull them into your working load on the desktop over Wi-Fi, each target matched to its charge or seating depth. - Real wind math. Enter speed and direction on a glove-friendly wind rose; the app computes the actual crosswind component for you -- full-value trig, no eyeballing "half value." Enter a gust range (say 8-12 mph) and see your windage spread. - DOPE card library. Every confirmed load, sorted by rifle and recent, searchable. - Recipe cards. Your components -- bullet, powder and charge, primer, brass, CBTO -- as a clean read-only reference at the bench. - Round count. Tap "+N" for the rounds you just ran; it syncs back to that barrel's count on the desktop. - Works with zero signal. Offline-first. Loads sync from the desktop by file or QR -- no account, no cloud, no backend. - iPhone and iPad, one app. iPad opens to a wider layout -- load list, DOPE, and recipe side by side. Free to download. A one-time $9.99 unlock adds phone-side load entry -- and it's free if you own Loadscope on Mac or Windows (just enter your license key). No subscription. No ads. No data collected.
