Your reloading log, kept on your bench.

Armory Wise tracks load recipes, brass lots, firearms, range sessions and component inventory on your iPhone or Android phone. It works without a signal and without an account, and your records stay on the device unless you send them somewhere.

Coming soon. Armory Wise is in private beta for iOS and Android.

The Armory Wise home screen: 11,424 cartridges across 11 calibers, 1,536 shotshells, three load developments, and a prompt to continue a .44 Special development.

Find the flat spot, then write it down where you’ll find it again.

Set up a ladder or grid test across charge weight, seating depth (COAL or CBTO) or jump from the lands. Armory Wise builds the variants, prints actual-size target sheets, and lines up velocity, ES, SD and group size for every step so you can compare them side by side.

Example charge-weight ladder Average velocity for six charge weights from 40.6 to 42.6 grains. Velocity climbs about 27 feet per second per step, except between 41.4 and 42.2 grains, where it rises only 13 feet per second in total. 13 fps across 0.8 gr 2640 2680 2720 2760 40.6 41.0 41.4 41.8 42.2 42.6 gr 2641 2668 2695 2703 2708 2741
Illustrative numbers. Average velocity (fps) by charge weight. Never exceed published maximums.

Everything on the bench and at the range, connected.

A batch of ammo knows its recipe, its brass lot and its components. A range session knows which batch you shot through which rifle. You enter the facts once and Armory Wise keeps the counts.

Load recipes and ammo batches

Record every recipe with its bullet, powder, primer and brass, charge weight and seating depth. Load a batch and Armory Wise draws the components and cases from inventory. Factory ammo lives alongside your handloads.

  • Cost per round from the prices you actually paid
  • Velocity, ES and SD across every session you shot the load
  • Muzzle energy, estimated free recoil and USPSA power factor
  • Warnings when you’ve recorded pressure signs with a load
A .44 Magnum load recipe: 21.0 grains of Alliant 2400 under a 240-grain Berry’s plated flat point, CCI 300 primer and Starline brass, for a S&W 629 Mountain Gun, at 44 cents a round.
Load recipe

Load development

Start from a base recipe and vary one parameter for a ladder test, or two for a grid. Print letter-size target sheets at exact physical scale, then enter impacts straight off the sheet’s inch grid.

  • Charge weight, COAL, CBTO or jump from the lands
  • Variant comparison with velocity, spread and group figures
  • Brass for the test drawn from a lot you choose
  • Development report as a PDF
Variant comparison for a .44 Magnum ladder from 18 to 21 grains of 2400: velocity rises from about 1,080 to 1,240 fps, and the 20-grain step has the lowest standard deviation.
Ladder comparison

Brass lots that know their history

Keep cases from the box as a supply, split them into batches, and Armory Wise counts each firing as you load and shoot. You always know how many firings a lot has left.

  • Firing counts and firings remaining per batch
  • Annealing log
  • Transfers between batches, with losses recorded
  • Retire a lot without losing its records

Range sessions with real conditions

Log what you shot, through which firearm, and how it grouped. When you start a session the app reads barometric pressure from your phone’s barometer and altitude from GPS, and fills them in for you to keep or change.

  • Shot groups with chronographed velocities and group size
  • Impact positions plotted for each group
  • Pressure signs recorded by severity
  • Velocity against temperature and altitude over time
A range session at 15 yards: a four-shot group averaging 1,238 fps with an 11.2 fps standard deviation, a 1.85-inch group, and per-shot velocities and energy.
Range session

Inventory, with a barcode scanner

Track bullets, powder, primers and brass by the pound, the piece and the purchase. Scan the barcode on a box of components or factory ammo to find it, log a purchase, or start a new entry.

  • Purchase history with vendor and price
  • Alerts when a caliber or component runs low
  • Shopping list of what to reorder
  • Barcodes are read on the phone itself
Component inventory listing powders with lot numbers, pounds on hand and cost per pound, with filters for low stock and component type.
Component inventory

Firearms, optics and gear

Keep each firearm’s details, the rounds it has fired and its cleaning history. Track optics and their zero, accessories and their batteries, and the bench equipment you load with, including its manuals.

  • Cleaning and battery reminders on the home screen
  • Receipts and manuals attached to the record
  • Firearm record and collection inventory reports
  • Serial numbers left out of reports unless you include them

Backups you hold the key to

Create a complete backup, photos and attachments included, and protect it with a password. Armory Wise encrypts it on the phone with Argon2id and XChaCha20-Poly1305 before you save or share it anywhere. Restore it on a new phone the same way.

  • Password-protected backups, encrypted on the device
  • A safety backup is kept before every restore
  • JSON and CSV exports for spreadsheets
  • PDF reports for recipes, sessions, inventory and maintenance

Handloading is dangerous

Mistakes can cause firearm damage, serious injury or death. Armory Wise is a record-keeping tool. The recipes and numbers in it are the ones you enter, and nobody verifies them. Always work from current published load data from the component manufacturers, start at the recommended starting load and work up carefully, watching for pressure signs.

Pressure warnings, ladder and grid results and other calculations are aids only, not safety guarantees. You are responsible for the ammunition you load and fire. See the terms of use.
