Description of Service
Load Lab is a free web-based tool that provides ballistic data for factory ammunition loads, side-by-side load comparison charts, a ballistic trajectory calculator, and custom load tracking. The Service is provided “as is” and is intended for informational and educational purposes.
User Accounts
Some features (saving favorites, custom loads) require authentication via Google or GitHub OAuth. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree not to share your account or use another person's account without permission.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations

Ballistic Data Disclaimer
This is critical — please read carefully.
All ballistic data, calculated trajectories, and comparison results provided by Load Lab are approximations based on manufacturer specifications and standard drag models. They are intended for comparison and educational purposes only.
Real-world ballistic performance varies based on barrel length, ammunition lot, atmospheric conditions, firearm condition, and many other factors. Never rely solely on calculated data for safety-critical decisions. Always confirm zero, trajectory, and performance at the range with your specific firearm and ammunition before field use.
Load Lab is not a substitute for proper firearms training, safety practices, or professional guidance.
Intellectual Property
The Load Lab application, interface design, and original content are the property of Load Lab. Factory ammunition data is sourced from publicly available manufacturer specifications.
Custom loads you create remain your data. We claim no ownership over user-generated content.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Load Lab and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to:
- Decisions made based on ballistic data or calculations provided by the Service
- Loss of data, including saved favorites or custom loads
- Service interruptions or unavailability
The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Service at our discretion, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the Service.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
