Handload vs ApexLOAD FIELD

Handload is a free reloading log and load development tool for handloaders who want to find their rifle's most accurate load — and keep every record safe. Brand-neutral by design. Log any powder, any bullet, any primer, any brass, from any manufacturer. RELOADING LOG Record every load recipe: cartridge, firearm, powder and charge weight, bullet, primer, brass, and seating depth (COAL/CBTO). Every load is tied to the rifle you shot it in, so your history stays organized. LOAD DEVELOPMENT Run charge weight ladders, OCW tests, and seating depth tuning. Enter your chronograph string and Handload calculates average velocity, extreme spread, and standard deviation automatically. The velocity chart highlights the flat spot — the accuracy node — so you can see exactly where your load stabilizes. GROUP AND ACCURACY TRACKING Log group size in MOA or millimetres, track accuracy across charge weights, and compare loads side by side to see which one your rifle actually prefers. COMPONENT INVENTORY Track powder, primers, bullets, and brass by quantity, lot number, and cost. Low stock alerts warn you before you run out mid-project. COST PER ROUND See what each round costs to load, broken down by component, with a break-even comparison against factory ammunition. BRASS AND BARREL LIFE Track case firings, trim length, primer pocket condition, and annealing. Keep a round count per barrel so you always know where you stand on throat erosion. YOUR DATA STAYS SAFE Cloud backup and sync, plus CSV and PDF export. No more losing years of load records to a dead phone. METRIC AND IMPERIAL Full support for grains and grams, fps and m/s, inches, MOA and mrad. FREE No ads. Core features free. SAFETY Handload is a record keeping and analysis tool. It does not supply load data and does not tell you what is safe to load. Always follow current published data from your powder, bullet and primer manufacturer, start low, and work up carefully. You are responsible for the safety of every round you load.

ApexLOAD FIELD is the range companion app in the ApexLOAD family — built for everything you do at the range, not at the desk. SHOOT Full ballistic solver in your pocket. Enter your bullet, muzzle velocity, and zero, and get instant come-up and windage in MOA or clicks, a sortable trajectory table (velocity, energy, Mach, drop), key metrics like MPBR and optimum zero, and a trajectory graph comparing your current zero against the optimum. Dial in wind speed and direction on an interactive wind dial and watch the numbers update live. MEASURE Log chronograph strings against your saved loads and weapons, and track velocity and pressure over your reloading history at a glance. ANALYZE Snap a photo of a target and let AI find your shots for you. ApexLOAD FIELD detects the group automatically and reports group size in both mm and MOA. DATABASE Keep profiles for every weapon, cartridge, and bullet you shoot, plus a running diary of every load you've built — synced with your ApexLOAD PRO account, so your bench data and range data live in one place. DISCUSS Threaded discussions with other shooters, hunters, and reloaders, right inside the app. Everything you log in the field flows straight back into ApexLOAD PRO, so nothing gets lost between the bench and the range.
