Free Load Development & Shooting Tools
Free, no login. They analyze your numbers and keep them on your device.
These tools take results you have already collected at the range and show you what they describe. They exist to remove the error-prone arithmetic between a target and a decision: converting fractions, averaging groups, and checking whether the differences you are looking at are bigger than the shot-to-shot noise.
Two rules apply to every tool here. First, they analyze your data and never suggest a charge weight or any other load. The curriculum teaches method, not recipes, and a website has no business handing you a number to put in a case. Second, nothing you enter is uploaded: the analysis runs in your browser, and there is no account to create.

Ladder Test Analyzer for Load Development
Enter the groups from a ladder test, whatever it varies (powder charge, seating depth, a primer, your own idea), across as many sessions as you like. Type measurements the way your target or calipers show them. It converts them, then shows which rungs repeat, whether wind outweighed what you were testing, and whether the ladder can be ranked at all. No chronograph needed.
Open the analyzer →Printable Reloading Log Sheet
A blank bench card for a loading session: each batch’s components, charge and length, the manual every charge came from, a safety checklist to run before anything leaves the bench, and box labels to cut out. It suggests no loads.
Open the log sheet →Printable Chronograph Log Sheet
A blank range sheet for chronograph sessions: every shot’s velocity, string by string, with columns for the average, extreme spread and standard deviation, and lines for the conditions that explain them.
Open the log sheet →Reloading Cost Calculator
Enter what you paid for bullets, powder, primers and brass, and the charge you load. See the cost per round, per 100 and per 1,000, which component costs most, and how it compares with factory ammunition.
Open the calculator →Ballistic Calculator
Enter your own ballistic coefficient and muzzle velocity, and get a come-up table for drop and wind in MIL or MOA. The rows where your bullet nears the speed of sound are flagged rather than hidden. Print it as a range card, save it as an image, or use the quick converters for MOA, group size and clicks.

A tool is only as useful as the test behind it. If you have not run a ladder yet, start with the method in Running a Charge Weight Ladder, then bring your measurements here. More tools will be added when there is a real analysis to do that is tedious or error-prone by hand; there is no plan to add any that tells you what to load.
