The LoadOut Roadmap: August and Beyond

May 22, 2026 · By Diane Johnson

I want to be straight with you about where LoadOut is and where it's going. The private beta opens in June, and the public launch is August 2026. v1 is a real app, not a teaser. But I'd rather you know up front what's in the box at launch and what's still on the bench, than discover the gap later. So here's both halves of the picture.

What ships in v1 (August 2026)

Everything below is built and shipping at launch. This is the whole reloading-to-range-day loop, on iOS, Android, Apple Watch, and Wear OS. Local-first, no tracking.

• Per-load reloading records with photo evidence, so every load you build has its own paper trail.
• Ballistics, including Hornady 4DOF measured drag curves rather than guessed-at G1/G7 estimates.
• Range Day shot-by-shot capture with group analysis — extreme spread and mean radius — plus scope adjustments, environmental conditions, and an inclinometer.
• Load development with OCW, Satterlee, and Audette ladders, and per-charge SD/ES statistics so a ladder turns into an actual decision.
• Bluetooth support for Kestrel, the Garmin Xero chronograph, and rangefinders, so numbers populate as you shoot instead of getting copied off a screen by hand.
• A reference catalog: 203 cartridges with SAAMI specs, 1,400+ bullets, 200+ powders, 70+ primers, and 213 scopes.
• Apple Watch and Wear OS companions for logging at the bench and on the line.

That's v1. It's the foundation everything else gets built on, and it stands on its own from day one.

Where we're headed next

This part is different. None of what follows has a date, and none of it is a promise. These are directions I'm actively working on after launch. Some of them depend on people outside the company, which means I genuinely can't tell you when they'll land — or, in a couple of cases, name who's involved yet.

• Richer reference data. I'm working with a data vendor to bring you a deeper catalog than what ships in v1. No promises on timing.
• Scope video capture. We're working with partners on the video side toward a one-to-one experience — matching the actual targets you shoot to the targets already in LoadOut's system. It's early, and I'd rather under-talk it than oversell it.
• Community and sharing. Sharing and group features, social updates — the parts of this that make sense to share with other shooters. On the roadmap, not built yet.
• Richer imagery, including 3D target visuals in the Range Day view, so a group reads more like the thing you actually shot.

And there's more I'm not ready to announce. Some of it I'm still figuring out, some of it hinges on conversations that aren't done. When it's real, you'll hear about it here first. I'd rather show you a thing that works than describe one that might.
