I think trigger cam is super cool, it really gives context to how hard it is to shoot small groups that far away.

[@jason.e.g]

I've watched your other vids and these groups are way better!

[@paulbowman6700]

Dude, I dig your work and videos. I like the visual way you explain the shots, the time you take to place the MOA measurement, and how organized you are.

[@jackbolen5001]

Good morning. The sight cam was a little hard to see. The dots are so small it was hard to see your POA. the tuner looks amazing. I just spent a mint having a terminator t3 machined and cerakoted to match my rifle. Wish I’d have spent that money on the EC.

It’s just never gonna be conclusive unless you repeat the results.. you could shoot that many groups with no muzzle device and maybe get the same results.. like when you got to 6 on the tuner brake.. stop there and shoot 4 more 3 shot groups and just see if it’s really the adjustment of the brake that did that.. or your gun just happen to spit out a good group that time

[@RobsReloading]

At some point I plan to take the worst tune and the best tune on a rifle and test it again with larger sample sizes. I'm sure we will still see a difference. It may not be as large as this test but I would bet we still see an improvement vs the worst tune.

[@kenthall6584]

Temperature change tuning is the real sauce we need for this

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Interesting perspective with new camera. You made a decent investment no doubt. It will take a little getting use to for everyone no doubt. I like the target camera personally. But no complaints on the trigger camera. Good demonstration on the tuner again. Thank you.

Nice shooting. Not sure if the tuner helps but it’s all good 👍👍

[@Forumrida38621]

I'm getting a new 22bra bartlein with a bat hammerhead action spun up! My smith suggested 3/4 x 24 for muzzle just cause taking less material off, I said sounds good to me cause it gives me a reason to get the next gen ec tuner brake lol

[@maxcoatlhunter4322]

I want to get me a EC Tuner brake..hopefully pretty soon. I want one for my 6.5 PRC

[@123tl]

Let’s us know how it works, I want one for a 6.5 prc also

[@chrisaguirre7018]

Keep going past 1o and see where it tightens up again you may find a wider node or you may not but it's worth testing. I usually find one within one revolution but you never know till you send rounds down range.

[@RobsReloading]

If this was a load I was going to use/settle on it may be worth it. However this was really just a fun test to see how tight we could get at 200 to then go test at 420. Stay tuned for groups at 420 this week.

[@km6731]

I had my first hangfire with my 6mm creed that ive put nearly 300 hundred rounds through and never had one before and had a velocity of 2400. Im wondering if during my reloading, my funnel was loose and some powder escaped without me realizing it. Ive cleaned this barrel when i noticed to be getting presure on loads that never did before. I started punching through primers. Ive reduced the load by one grain and still see inconsistent velocities. Thinking i need to eliminated the carbon ring, which probably never happened last cleaning. The hangfire could also have been from the fingernail polish i used to secure a loose fitting primer.

[@dennismassey2128]

What is that bag rest you are running? I have been searching for something like that. Love the video!

[@RobsReloading]

Front rest and bag is a protector model.

[@javiersp01]

i like better the target cam, and yeah, you might want to check settings 5 and 7

[@RobsReloading]

Target cam isn't going anywhere long term. Plan to have all 3 views on most videos.

[@rrvil]

Gotta ask what the riser is on the front of the stock. Would love to have that for my rest at the bench

[@RobsReloading]

It is a 3d printed from Amazon that I mounted an arca clamp on. I'm not sold on it yet however. I don't really like how high it raises the front of the stock. I may not use it going forward.

[@albertlemont5471]

What powder in this load? I know some ball powders suggest magnum primers.

[@RobsReloading]

Vhit n555

[@pitts3219]

Let’s see you repeat the same loads a week later under the same conditions and compare

[@texpatriot8462]

How does the thing on top of the scope work with the lens cap flipped up?

[@RobsReloading]

It records through the optic not above the optic.

[@texpatriot8462]

@@RobsReloading I am going to have to look into getting something like that.

[@RobsReloading]

@@texpatriot8462 it's an expensive piece of kit but so far I have been happy with it. After more use and experience and will give my full thoughts

[@TheIslandExpat]

Others have commented on different videos using one that it's kind of difficult to make the image clear vs the reticle clear. However, I have no experience with one personally.

[@swarmar3085]

What scale are you using for this load? Just curious

[@RobsReloading]

Lyman gen6

[@swarmar3085]

Do you think that an FX 120 I is necessary for load development and loading or do you think a tuner would correct all or most of the inconsistencies of lower QUALITY scale charges? Just curious. Thank you PS love watching your videos short and very informative.

[@dougscamo2032]

Don't really care for the trigger cam. Target wasn't clear and I couldn't see impact. The target camera is superior for clarity.

[@douglash.8862]

Small Primer Brass, in COLD Weather "can" cause,.. "Hang Fires" with SOME, Powders,.. NO, Thanks !

[@RobsReloading]

We are really just messing around with load work and tuner testing so this load will never be used for anything other than for pleasure shooting. That's why I am using up some of my cci400 primers.

[@km6731]

ive been using small rifle fed 205 and have shot in 0 degree temps with no hangfires on 6mm creedmoor

[@tonycooper4031]

So, you need to do more than one group to verify that a setting is repeatable. This test means nothing.

[@MrBoostin18]

Tuners don’t work. People need to learn internal ballistics.

[@albertlemont5471]

Keep watching the Hornady podcast. I'll keep watching the ones from national champions.

[@MrBoostin18]

@@albertlemont5471 if tuners worked, his group wouldn’t have grown another 2.5” in the video the second time he put it on setting 10 like it did in the video where he had a discussion with Jayden he just released.

yeah thgats why nearly every single f class and bench rest shooter uses one

[@MrBoostin18]

@@chrisaguirre7018 if they work, there’s a special way to use them. Cortina even said he was sworn to never release the secrets on how to use one. 🤷🏻‍♂️ However they don’t work And people use them as a bandaid for their poor reloading practices.
