Tools
Useful Holdover calculators, range notebook tools, visualizers, and reference tools for Canadian shooters.
The Tool Bench
Calculators, range notebook tools, visualizers, and reference tools for Canadian shooters.
The tool that comes back from the range.
Measure what happened, keep the note, and build a useful record over time.
Zero, drop, and recoil.
Fast numbers for the range bag, the bench, or the night before checking zero.
Bullet Drop Visualizer
Pick a representative load and zero distance to see the arc, holdover table, MOA, MIL, velocity, and energy at common ranges.
MOA/MIL Scope Adjustment Calculator
Turn a measured miss into scope clicks, MOA, MIL, and turret direction without doing range math on the back of a target.
Recoil Comparison Tool
Compare rifle cartridges by free recoil energy, adjust rifle weight, and see why the same round can feel different in a different rifle.
Cost, kit, and range notes.
Practical bench tools with clear safety boundaries. No charge recipes, no magic shortcuts.
Load Development Plotter
Analyze a ladder, an OCW, a Satterlee velocity test, or group-plus-SD data without pretending a tiny sample tells you more than it does.
Reloading Cost Calculator
Compare factory match ammunition with handloads, adjust component prices, and see the round count where the press starts paying you back.
Reloading Starter Kit Builder
Price a realistic Canadian reloading bench by tier, compare hardware totals, and see what common calibres add in consumables.
Context you can use.
Reference tools for learning, buying, cartridge context, and the Canadian policy timeline.
