About Reloader's Bench
The free handloading database for the shooting sports community
What is Reloader's Bench?
Reloader's Bench is a free, community-driven database of handloading (reloading) recipes for rifle, pistol, and shotgun cartridges. It was built to give competitive shooters, hunters, and reloading enthusiasts a single place to search, share, and manage their load data — without having to dig through spreadsheets or scattered forum posts.
The public database is free to search for everyone. No account needed to browse thousands of loads filtered by caliber, powder, bullet weight, and more.
What can you do here?
- Search loads — filter thousands of community-submitted reloading recipes by caliber, powder, bullet, and primer
- Save favourites — collect loads you want to try and access them from any device
- Create your own loads — log and share your personal tested recipes
- Track component inventory — know how much powder, brass, bullets, and primers you have on hand
- Log range sessions — record chronograph data, link sessions to specific loads and firearms
- Compare loads — put up to three loads side by side to find the best option for your goals
- Caliber conversion lookup — find the shellplates, powder funnels, and locator pins for your reloading press
Who built this?
Reloader's Bench is an independent project built by a single developer who also reloads. It launched in 2026 as a hobby project to scratch a personal itch — a clean, fast, searchable alternative to PDF manuals and forum threads.
The site is entirely self-funded. Free tier users help keep the lights on via advertising; paid subscribers remove ads and unlock additional tools. There are no investors, no venture capital, and no plans to sell your data.
A note on safety
Reloading is an inherently dangerous activity. Always cross-reference any load data you find here against a published, professionally verified reloading manual before loading any cartridge.
Community-submitted loads are not independently verified. Start below maximum charges and work up carefully. Reloader's Bench accepts no responsibility for injury, death, or property damage resulting from the use of load data on this site. See our Terms of Use for the full safety disclaimer.
