About

Loadscope Measure

Read full description

Measure your rifle shot groups from a photo -- free. Photograph your target square-on, set the scale, and mark each shot. Loadscope Measure reads: - Group size (extreme spread), edge to edge. - Mean radius -- the average-distance number that tracks real precision better than a single worst shot. - Your dial-to-center in MOA or mil -- how far the group sits off your aim. Mark several targets in one session and as many shot groups as a sheet holds. Pick your caliber for a true-to-size ring on every hole. Developing a load? Loadscope on Mac and Windows scores every powder charge and seating depth you test and picks your winning load automatically -- and groups you measure here sync straight into it over Wi-Fi, each target matched to its charge or seating depth. Get Loadscope at loadscope.app. No account. No ads. No data collected.
