Handload vs DOPE Long Range Shooting Log

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.

DOPE (Data On Previous Engagements) is a professional, 100% private, offline-first shooting logbook built by a shooter for shooters. Designed to replace paper range notebooks, DOPE lets you record scope adjustments, atmospheric conditions, target positions, and plot shot groupings directly on virtual targets. KEY FEATURES: • 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE-FIRST All your data – firearms inventory, ammunition records, range locations, and target photos – is saved strictly inside a local database on your device (SQLite). No account registration, no telemetry, no tracking servers, and zero ads. You maintain total control over your data with built-in JSON/ZIP backup export and import. • RANGE CONDITIONS & GPS LOGGING - Automatic or manual range location logging with GPS coordinates, map integration, and altitude (m a.s.l.). - Complete weather tracking: temperature, humidity, absolute station pressure, and wind speed/direction. - Built-in absolute pressure calculator and integration with Open-Meteo API for quick weather data fetching. • FIREARMS & AMMUNITION INVENTORY Keep a clear chronicler's record of your rifles and loadouts. The app automatically suggests your previously used rifles, calibers, and ammo for new entries to save time at the range. • SCOPE SETTINGS & CORRECTIONS Log your optic settings and turrets in MRAD, MOA, or clicks. Compare suggested ballistic corrections (e.g. from Lapua Ballistics) with actual scope adjustments used during firing. • VIRTUAL TARGET PLOTTING & GROUP CALCULATION - Plot bullet hits directly on your phone screen with simple touch controls. - Integrated magnifier tool to precisely align hit points against a millimeter grid. - Automatic group size and dispersion calculations in mm, MRAD, and MOA. - Support for multiple targets per entry and adding real target photos. • CLOUD SYNC AND BACKUP - Sync data between all your devices. - Store a secure back-up in cloud. - App can work offline and sync data later.
