Load Development & Range Log

Build the load.
Log the proof.

MyBench links every build series to the chrono string it produced and the group it shot — so the series you logged in March is still findable in November. No more spiral notebook. No more “which lot was this.”

What it actually does

Four screens, one thread of data.

Everything below is linked by the same batch ID — build a box, shoot it, chrono it, and the cost follows the round the whole way.

Custom Ammo Box Builder

Pick a firearm and a saved recipe, set your rounds, sighters, foulers, and ladder — MyBench names the batch, lays out the box, and prices the whole thing live before you seat a single bullet.

  • Saved recipes prefill the user-selected components
  • 10×5 or 10×10 grid, ladder or single-charge fill
  • Live cost and inventory check update as you build

ChronoLab

Drag in a Garmin Xero, Athlon, or ShotMarker export and MyBench parses it into series, shots, and a shot-by-shot velocity string — so you can see what velocity actually did across your ladder, instead of just remembering it.

  • Garmin Xero, Athlon Rangecraft, ShotMarker, generic CSV
  • Powder scatter, seating depth, and shot-string graphs
  • Auto-recalculates avg / SD / ES on the linked box

A note from the bench

Some of you looked at that grid and nodded — there’s the pattern you want to compare. Others are already thinking about sample size and confirmation bias. MyBench does not referee that conclusion. It preserves your recorded string point to point, without smoothing the data to make a preferred result look stronger than it is. You decide what the evidence means using current manufacturer-published data and your own safe procedures.

Range Log

Log group size, conditions, and rounds fired against the batch you built. Weather pulls automatically from your location, so a windy Tuesday doesn’t get blamed on the load.

  • Auto-fetched temp, humidity, wind, density altitude
  • Target photo and file attachments per session
  • Marks the box “shot” and debits inventory automatically

Evidence Review

“I can summarize what you recorded.” Reviews this session’s chrono data and Target Analyst measurements, flags missing provenance, and helps compare your own historical records without supplying load data.

04 / Account For It

Cost-per-round, live

Every component carries its real lot price. As you build the box, MyBench checks you actually have the stock on hand and totals the cost — brass, bullet, primer, powder — down to the cent per round.

  • Inventory checked against the batch before you load
  • Lot prices snapshotted at build time, not guessed
  • ShootingBot price lookups keep the shelf current

Why this exists

Built at the bench, not in a boardroom.

MyBench started as a spreadsheet that got out of hand. Then a second spreadsheet for chrono data that didn’t talk to the first one. Then a shoebox of ammo with charge weights in Sharpie on masking tape, because the notebook was in the truck.

The problem was never tracking one build — it’s tracking the hundredth one, and still being able to find the eleventh. So MyBench treats a batch of ammo as one connected record: what it was built from, what it cost, what it chronographed at, and what it shot. You look a load up once, by name or by group size, and everything attached to it comes with it.

— Still built by one reloader. Still shooting the loads it logs.
