LoadNode
Precision reloading log
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
From the bench to the target: log charge ladders with live SD/ES, measure groups from a photo, and see what your own data shows, all offline.
LoadNode is a precision reloading companion: bench to target.
Track every load you develop, enter chronograph velocities with live SD/ES, measure your groups from a photo, and compare your charges with honest uncertainty.
FREE
• Log rifles, recipes, and load jobs
• Charge weight, seating depth and tuner position tests, with live SD and extreme spread
• Offline bullet / powder / primer / brass component search
• Measure a group from a target photo (size and MOA)
• Session conditions with density altitude, entered from your meter or computed
• Password-encrypted backup and restore
PRO: one-time, yours forever (no subscription)
• Unlimited firearms and multi-barrel profiles
• Garmin Xero chronograph sync
• Velocity and group-vs-charge charts, plus charge comparison with honest uncertainty
• Composite analysis: pool groups into 20 to 50-shot statistics
• Full target-cam: firing order, on-photo data box, share cards
• Neck-tension and shoulder-bump tracking
• AI group analysis, with chronograph velocity correlation and observation-based suggestions (technique and environment only, never load advice)
• Cost and ROI tracking: per-round cost and return vs factory ammo
• Cloud sync and cloud photo backup across your devices
• Personal records, medals and a season recap
• Recipe versions, reports and the Load Book PDF
• Throat-erosion tracking, saved groups, advanced metrics (mean radius, point of impact, scope clicks) and annotated image export
An account is optional. Logging, the calculations, group measurement and component search all work offline. Weather autofill, sign-in, purchases, AI analysis and cloud sync need a connection.
Handloading is an adult activity. LoadNode is a logbook, not load data: it never tells you what powder or charge to use. Always use current published data and work up safely.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Tuner tests
A new test type that sits alongside charge weight and seating depth. Hold the load still, step the tuner position, and record a group and a velocity string against each setting. It compares the settings you shot and shows the spread on each, and it will not tell you which position to run: at a handful of shots per setting, the one that comes out lowest is mostly sampling noise. Zero is a valid position, since plenty of tuners are numbered from it.
Density altitude you measured, kept as measured
If your meter already reports a density altitude, type it in. LoadNode keeps that figure instead of recomputing its own estimate from the temperature, humidity and pressure you entered. It is labelled "(entered)" wherever it appears, so a measurement taken at the firing point is never mistaken for one the app worked out, and it stays put if you correct the temperature afterwards. Clearing the field returns to computing it. Sessions logged before this update are unaffected and still read as computed, which is what they were.
Fewer taps entering conditions
Pressure has moved up next to temperature and humidity, so the three figures the density altitude is actually computed from now sit together, and altitude has moved down with the wind. There is also a bar above the keyboard with back, next and done, so you can walk the whole set without reaching back to the screen each time.
Your own components are easier to find
Every component picker now says on the field itself that you can add your own, and searching for something the built-in catalogue does not carry offers to add it rather than stopping at "No matches". Custom bullets, powders, primers and brass always worked; nothing said so.
Thanks to the shooters on the AccurateShooter and Shooters Forum boards who asked for all four.
