Precision rifle load development
for Mac.

Drop your Garmin Xero and BallisticX CSV exports onto Loadscope. It auto-imports velocity, SD, group size, mean radius, and more — straight into a structured load development workbook with built-in scoring. Find your node faster.

The output speaks for itself.

Loadscope turns your CSV exports into a structured load development workbook with composite scoring across SD, mean radius, and vertical dispersion. The suggested winner shows up at the top of the Load Log automatically.

Drag. Click. Done.

Drop your range-trip CSVs onto the window. Loadscope figures out which ones are Garmin Xero (chronograph) and which are BallisticX (target groups), routes them automatically, and writes everything into your workbook. Excel opens with the data ready to read.

Built by a precision shooter, for precision shooters.

No more retyping shot velocities into Excel after every range trip. Loadscope does the data entry; you focus on finding the node.

Drag-and-drop import

Drop CSVs from Garmin Xero (chronograph) and BallisticX (target groups) onto the window or the Dock icon. Loadscope figures out which is which and routes them to the right place.

📊

Composite node scoring

Every load gets a score combining SD, group size, and vertical dispersion. The suggested winner shows up at the top of your Load Log automatically.

📁

Structured workbook

Powder ladder, seating depth, confirmation groups, DOPE table, charts — all on one workbook with consistent labeling. Includes a one-page printable cheat sheet.

🎯

Label-driven workflow

Use a simple label format (P1 45.5 H4350) on your CSVs and Loadscope routes everything correctly. Works with the test types you already run: powder ladder, seating depth, confirmation.

One-click updates

When a new version ships, click Install Update in the app — no manual re-downloading or drag-to-Applications. Your data stays untouched.

Common questions.

If you don't see your question here, email support@loadscope.app.

How do I get an access code?

Loadscope is in private beta. Email support@loadscope.app to request access. You'll receive a unique code that unlocks both the download and the app itself.

What's the workflow look like in practice?

Range trip → CSV from your Xero, CSV from BallisticX → drop both onto Loadscope → workbook opens in Excel with all the velocity, SD, ES, group size, mean radius numbers filled in. You add notes, save, done.

Does it work with [other chronograph]?

Currently supports Garmin Xero (ShotView CSVs) and BallisticX. The architecture is pluggable — adding LabRadar, MagnetoSpeed, Athlon Rangecraft, etc. is straightforward. If you'd like one added, send a sample CSV to support@loadscope.app.

Is my data going to the cloud?

No. Loadscope writes to a regular .xlsx file on your Mac. No account, no sync, no telemetry. Your loads stay on your machine.

Is Loadscope code-signed by Apple?

Yes. Loadscope is signed with a Developer ID Application certificate and notarized by Apple. macOS will open it without security warnings on the first launch — the same as any commercial Mac app.

Does it work on Apple Silicon?

Yes — runs natively on Intel Macs and via Rosetta 2 on M-series. Performance is fine; Loadscope is a small app.

What about Windows / iOS?

Both ports are planned. Mac is the current focus; Windows is next on the roadmap. iOS is a longer-term project.
