The LoadOut Roadmap: v1 and Beyond
September 5, 2026 · By Diane Johnson
What ships in v1 (September 2026)
Everything below is built and shipping at launch. This is the whole reloading-to-range-day loop on iPhone and iPad, Android and Mac, with Apple Watch, Wear OS, and Garmin companions, and the workspace in the browser. Local-first, no tracking.
- Per-load reloading records (components, charge, seating, brass history, notes) so every load you build has its own paper trail. Attaching photos to a record is part of Pro.
- LoadOut's own ballistics solver: all six standard drag models (G1, G2, G5, G6, G7 and G8), plus 290+ manufacturer-published measured drag curves, from 25+ bullet makers, for the bullets that have one. It solves out to 3,500 yards at v1, and flags a solution as lower-confidence once that particular bullet goes transonic rather than pretending the number is as good as it was at 300.
- Range Day shot-by-shot capture with group analysis, covering extreme spread, mean radius, and the group centre, plus environmental conditions and the device's own cant, incline, and heading readings. Full group statistics are part of Pro.
- Load Development (Pro) covers five methods: OCW, Satterlee, Audette, seating-depth tuning, and a freeform custom ladder, plus per-charge SD/ES statistics so a ladder turns into an actual decision.
- Bluetooth support for three devices: a Kestrel 5-series meter, a WeatherFlow WEATHERmeter, and the Shooters Global SG Timer, so conditions and splits arrive on their own. A Garmin Xero C1 Pro comes across as a .fit file exported from Garmin Connect, or as a photo of its screen. Those captures are part of Pro; entering the numbers by hand is always free.
- A reference catalog: 200+ cartridges with their published specs, 400+ bullets, 150+ powders, 100+ primers, 250+ scopes, and 50+ reticles.
- Apple Watch, Wear OS, and Garmin companions, including 30+ Garmin devices, for logging at the bench and on the line.
- The Scope View: your reticle drawn to scale over the target at its true angular size. The Stylized tier, all 50+ reticles, and target selection are free; the Scenic photo backdrops are Pro, and free users see them live under a soft blur rather than behind a lock.
- The whole app in 16 locales.
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, and in a couple of cases, I can't say 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. Group features and social updates, basically 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.
