Develop handloads
that actually shoot.
Log every charge with live SD & ES, measure your groups from a photo, and let LoadNode find your node — on a fast, offline-first app built for serious handloaders.
Free to use · No account required · Works offline
Built for the data-driven handloader — rifle and pistol, any cartridge.
From load workup to the target — in one place.
SD & ES, as you shoot
Standard deviation and extreme spread recompute on every shot you log.
Groups, measured
Group size, MOA/MIL, and mean radius from a single calibrated photo.
Your node, surfaced
Flat spots across the charge ladder, flagged and overlaid with group size.
Why precision handloaders use LoadNode
Not another notes app — a purpose-built instrument for load development.
Trustworthy numbers
Population SD/ES computed the chronograph-correct way, with flyer exclusion — the stats you actually rely on.
Measure groups from your phone
Photograph the target, calibrate the scale, tap the holes — group size, MOA/MIL, mean radius, and POI offset with scope-click corrections.
Find the node
LoadNode flags flat spots in your velocity ladder and overlays group size vs charge so the load reveals itself.
Yours, offline
Local-first: your data lives on your device and works with no signal at the range.
A target-cam that measures for you.
Shoot the target square-on, set a known distance to calibrate, drop your point of aim, and tap each impact. LoadNode computes center-to-center group size, MOA and MIL, mean radius, and your point-of-impact offset — then tells you the scope clicks to zero. Export an annotated image to share.
See the node, not just the numbers.
The velocity-node chart shows where your ladder flattens; the group-vs-charge overlay shows where it tightens. Where they meet is your load. Track throat erosion over a barrel’s life, too.
Built for the whole workflow
Rifles & recipes
Track firearms, barrels, optics, and component recipes with offline bullet/powder/primer/brass search.
Guided job wizard
Jam, seating depth, and density-altitude math, step by step.
Charge-ladder sessions
Glove-friendly velocity entry with live SD/ES and per-row stats.
AI group analysis Cloud
A coach’s read of your dispersion with concrete next steps.
Sync & cloud backup Cloud
Multi-device sync and cloud photo backup — pick up on any device.
JSON backup & restore Pro
Own your data; move it anywhere.
Built on sound method
No hype, no made-up data — just the math handloaders actually use, done right.
Chronograph-correct stats
Population SD and ES with deliberate flyer handling — the same way you’d compute them by hand, every shot.
Measure, don’t guess
A calibrated photo turns “looks tight” into a real MOA number you can compare load to load.
A logbook, not load data
LoadNode never hands you a recipe. It records and analyzes what you do — you work loads up safely from published data.
