Rifle Calcs

Ballistic calculations

Rifle Calcs solves your shot as you type. Change the distance, the wind or a click on the turret, and the solution, the reticle and the hit or miss update at once. There is no calculate button.

Rifle Calcs on iPhone

See the hit before you send it

Pick your steel (gongs, rectangles, PRS plates or a custom size) and Rifle Calcs draws it on the reticle at the size it really appears at that distance, with a clear hit or miss.

Turn the elevation and windage turrets click by click, or dial straight to the solution. The reticle shows where the shot lands with what you have dialled, so you can see the miss you are chasing as well as the fix.

Watch the bullet fly

Drag the bullet from muzzle to target. Drop, drift, spin, speed and energy read out at every point, the zero crossing shows up close, and an uphill or downhill shot is drawn at its true angle.

From above, and through the glass

See the wind push the bullet off line and back onto the plate from above, then follow the same flight across the reticle.

Your dope card, calculated live

Built for the way you shoot

  • Profiles: rifle, bullet and scope saved together. Switch between a .308 in MIL and a .223 in MOA with one tap.
  • A real solver: a point-mass model that includes spin drift and Coriolis, solved in under a millisecond.
  • Measured drag curves: enter a bullet's own Doppler drag data when a ballistic coefficient is not enough.
  • Conditions from your phone: current weather for where you are, look angle from the phone's tilt, and direction from its compass.
  • Imperial or metric: switch at any time without losing a value.
  • Light or dark, in your colour: the keys glow in the backlight colour you choose.

Private by design

No account, no ads and no tracking. Your rifles and loads stay on your phone. The app goes online only when you ask for the weather or open the map. The Privacy Policy has the details.

Support

Questions, bug reports and feature requests: support@jaredjudd.com. It helps to include your device, its iOS version, and the profile you were using: rifle, bullet, scope, muzzle velocity and zero.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-in. Everything you enter stays on your device.

Does it work without a signal?

Yes. Every calculation runs on your phone. The internet is needed only to fetch the current weather or to show the map, and you can always enter conditions by hand.

Where do the weather numbers come from?

From Open-Meteo, a weather model's current analysis for your position, updated every 15 minutes. It is a good starting point, but it is not a reading where you stand. For the best results, use station pressure from a local barometer or weather meter.

Why does my rifle not match the app exactly?

A calculator predicts; your rifle confirms. Muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient and sight height have the largest effect, so measure them where you can. Then shoot at distance, and true the profile to what you see on paper or steel.

How do I move my data to a new phone?

Your profiles go with your device backup. Restoring a backup to the new phone restores Rifle Calcs with them.

How do I delete my data?

Delete the app. Rifle Calcs keeps nothing anywhere else.

Is it safe to rely on?

Rifle Calcs is a calculator, not a substitute for safe handling or confirmed data. Always know your target and what is beyond it, and confirm every solution at the range before you rely on it. See the Terms of Use.
