BoreAxis Ballistics

Read full description

A ballistic solution is only the starting point. BOREAXIS is a modern ballistic solver and DOPE system built for long-range shooters, hunters, and precision rifle competitors who want more than a calculated number. Build your rifle and ammunition profile, calculate your firing solution, take it to the range, verify what actually happens, and refine your data over time. CALCULATE WITH CONFIDENCE Create firing solutions using the data that matters. BOREAXIS supports G1 and G7 ballistic coefficients. Account for changing conditions with atmospheric inputs including temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, and other environmental factors. Advanced calculations include spin drift and Coriolis correction, with support for both imperial and metric units. Build solutions out to 1,800 yards and keep the information you need organized in a clean, field-focused interface. BUILT FOR THE WAY SHOOTERS ACTUALLY WORK Powerful ballistic software should not require fighting through menus, cluttered screens, or disconnected tools. BOREAXIS was designed around the complete shooting workflow, with a clear visual hierarchy, intuitive controls, and fast access to the information that matters in the field. Profiles, firing solutions, environmental data, verified engagements, truing, and DOPE all work together as parts of the same system. Every screen is designed to make complex ballistic information easier to read and faster to use without stripping away the depth serious shooters expect. The result is a ballistic tool that feels as refined as the equipment you bring to the range. FROM CALCULATED DOPE TO VERIFIED DOPE A ballistic calculator can tell you what should happen. The range tells you what actually happened. BOREAXIS is built around both. Record verified engagements and compare real-world impacts against your predicted solution. Use that information to refine your ballistic data, true your setup, and build a DOPE record based on your rifle, your ammunition, and your actual shooting results. Instead of starting over every time you head to the range, BOREAXIS helps your data improve with you. BUILD AND SAVE YOUR SETUPS Create and manage multiple rifle and ammunition profiles so your ballistic data stays organized. Switch between setups without rebuilding the same information every session and keep your firing solutions connected to the equipment they belong to. WEATHER AND LOCATION-ASSISTED DATA When available, BOREAXIS can use location-assisted environmental data to help you build firing solutions around current conditions. You can also enter atmospheric information manually when you want complete control over the inputs. FIELD-READY DOPE Generate range-specific elevation and windage solutions and keep critical information easy to read when you need it. Save verified data, refine corrections, and export DOPE in supported formats including image, CSV, and PDF for reference outside the app. BOREAXIS PRO Unlock the most advanced BOREAXIS capabilities with a one-time Pro upgrade—NO RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION required. Pro is designed for shooters who want deeper environmental tools, advanced truing and refinement features, and the full BOREAXIS workflow. BUILT AROUND THE PROCESS Good DOPE is not created by an algorithm alone. It comes from combining a strong ballistic model with real-world confirmation. Build the profile. Calculate the solution. Shoot. Verify. Refine. BOREAXIS turns that process into one connected system. Calculate. Verify. Refine.

TrueBallistics starts where other ballistic apps stop. Every solver will take a bullet's published numbers and draw you a trajectory. That trajectory is right up until the point your rifle disagrees with it, and past 600 yards your rifle usually does. TrueBallistics goes the other way. Tell it what your rifle actually did. The come-up you dialed at 400, at 600, at 925. It works backwards from those holds to a corrected solution for that barrel, that load, that scope. Not a book number. Yours. Then it carries that dope with you. Shoot your data on a 90 degree afternoon at 300 feet, come back in January at 5,000, and the app does not throw your work away and start over from the book. It moves your own dope onto the new air. WHAT ELSE IS IN IT Dope card. Any range band, any step, printed small enough to tape to a stock. Turret tape. Measure your elevation cap with calipers, say how much the turret moves in one full turn, and the app lays out the tick marks and your own yardages around the circumference at true size. Print it, cut it, wrap the cap. Nothing else does this automatically. Sight in backwards. Type where the group landed at 100 and it tells you the zero you actually have, not the one you meant to have. Point blank range, and sight height worked out from two caliper measurements. Reload logbook. Bullet, powder, charge, primer, brass, seating depth, measured velocity, and its own dope, for each load. Several loads per rifle. Conditions. One button reads the nearest National Weather Service station and your phone's own barometer. Or type it all in by hand. Both work. Bullet, cartridge, powder and scope libraries are built in, so setting up a new rifle takes minutes instead of an evening. HOW IT WORKS No account and no sign in. Your rifles and your dope live on your device and are never uploaded. No ads, no analytics, nothing running in the background. The only time the app touches the internet at all is when you press the weather button. Everything else works with no signal, which is where most people shoot. TrueBallistics does not publish load data and never will. Your manual and the powder maker's current published data are the authority on charges. Molon Labe LLC Corning, Arkansas

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrueBallistics at none against BoreAxis Ballistics's 1. TrueBallistics also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
