March 9: Over 10,000 new load records added!

Stay Tuned: We have big updates on the way!

We have had some great suggestions for how to improve the app and are working on several of them now. If you have any suggestions, feel free to email us at: [email protected]

TIP: When searching for load data, try to avoid using the generic bullets like "180 GR. Bullet" or "180 GR. FMJ." Those contain data, but very little. The reason for this is that we get our data from respected sources and not much is listed for generic bullets. Even if you are using a generic bullet, know its properties and search for an equivalent name brand bullet and you will find far more powders and load information.

The Loading Bench is a comprehensive app for anyone who loads their own ammunition. Our database pulls from nearly every commercial source as well as some highly respected individuals in the reloading community.

Features include:

* search the entire database for load data on over 31,000 loads.

* search for two cartridges that have loads with the same powder (useful for shopping trips!).

* build and share your own recipes from scratch, or copy a database load into a recipe and modify it as you like.

* calculate the cost of your reloads based on your bulk costs, and
attach those costs to a recipe.

* take pictures of your shot groupings and attach those pictures to a recipe for future comparison.

* all data is included in the initial app purchase. No extra purchases for more data!

The Loading Bench is like having a reloading book, plus your own notebooks and historical groupings, all in the palm of your hand. Written by avid sportsmen, shooters and reloaders, for other sportsmen, shooters, and reloaders, you wont be disappointed by this app.

Dont buy!!!!!

You cant get the powder you use for your load worthless app better off with the old manuals

Disappointing powder selection

Typical rifle reloads with popular powders found in any reputable reloading book are missing. Rather disappointing. Good usability.

Load choices

Wish I didnt have to pay for is since it doesnt give many choice for my gun and load choices. Even though many books say the load I use works.

Good layout, little powder choices.

Good setup, but lacking powder choices severely.

Not bad

Could use some tweaking - for example calibers are split/duplicated due to upper case/lower case use in the database and also dashes and slashes Example: 45/70 and 45-70. At this price I expected better.

Cost per cartridge

The only thing I found useful was the cost per cartridge calculator. Load data did not allow me to put in B.C. or for G7 drag functions. Hopefully improvement comes. As well as I keep pushing to edit my data, the app does nothing.

Poor app

Waste of money
