Just want to say thank you for all your effort and time to show us about reloading as your videos learned me a lot and convinced me to get my reloading setup ready for when I get my rifle.

[@TheHurtlacher]

Just received mine the other day. I must say awesome product. Very happy with this purchase. Won’t be my last. Thanks again

[@kronewittermike]

eric received my turner on a saturday of last week, took it to the range on monday i can't believe what this does after adjusting turner all my shots were under quarter. what a great product.

[@bwr3rd]

Just purchased an ECTuner Brake in 6.5mm for my Rem 700 in 22.250. Thanks for responding to my previous emails. Looking forward to getting my load dialed-in for my next varmint hunting trip out west this Summer. Let us know when they become available in black! Thanks again, Erik.

[@rodneylane634]

Hi Erik--Just received your 30 cal Tuner/Brake. The concept is just fantastic, a tuner with a muzzle brake AND you don't have to have your barrel remachined. I have wanted a tuner for many years but I didn't want to have the barrel threads redone and your Tuner/Brake was just what I was looking for!! The quality is top notch! I am excited about trying this out (as soon as it stops raining)!! Great Channel and great videos. Keep up the good work!!

[@ErikCortina]

Thank you. :)

[@glennwood3912]

I put one on my 6.5 Creed Tikka T3 Tac A1. I’m happy with it. Tuner works as advertised. Recoil reduction is excellent. Quality product.

[@redstedman]

OK Mr. Cortina, I finally got time and conditions to do a little work. First I tried some 147 gr military crap and shot OK with adjustments to 6. Then I used “Atomic” 168 gr I bought at Perry. At position #6 I held .525@ 100. I only shot 30 rds. Lol. It works. I may find tighter groups yet but I like it already. (DPMS LAR ) Thanks. I like your videos.

[@tonylatham5915]

Erik: I've got my EC Tuner Brake mounted on my .30-06 Howa (sporting barrel). I went through the process with it yesterday. At #20, it shoots under .5". I put paper out at 300 yards and shot a 1-1/4" group. Now... I realize that in the great scheme of things, this isn't the kind of group that would turn your head... but this is a 7-pound, 400-yard, elk rifle. Thanks and both of my thumbs are up.

[@jeremygeurtjens7593]

Just had my two EC tuners fitted...they look great by the way. I just wish I had known this was coming as I would have waited.

[@fabianvaras1273]

I got my today I did put it on my bergara b14 hmr on 308 and firt shot when 0.7 mils up I did ajust it down 7 click and shot 3 round for grouping and I have to tell you shot basically one hole so I didn't have the courage to move the tuner open down way set up number 0 so I'm from Argentina the ammo here is pretty expensive and hard to fine I did use the hornary match ammo later on I will tryout longer shots for red stag season. Thanks for this product very impressive

[@1cubsfan4life]

I have this basic same thing on an older Browning called B.O.S.S. (ballistic optimizing shooting system). Great shooting gun

[@robwebster2562]

Yup. answered all my questions. Going to check my threads and order one. And thanks for the .338 info.

[@ahmedmanajid]

I've been waiting for this! Thank you so much.

[@JerrBearTactical]

I'll be ordering a couple of these from you in the near future. Great video Sir and you answered all the questions I had about this brake😉👍🇺🇸

[@timkourbo3196]

Excellent content, Erik. Just bought one of your tuner brakes in SS. Thank you.

[@TACx3]

Received mine in the mail last week ! The candy sucker was great !! 👍🏽. Installed it as per Eric’s instructions and went out and shot a few ! The tuner does really help shrink my groups ! I am very happy with it ! Thanks EC for a great product !! 🤙🏽

[@taylordoerksen4344]

Reinventing the BOSS! These would be awesome to have, I'll wait for the black to come out. Awesome craftsmanship

[@tonylatham5915]

It's out. I just put one on my Howa.

[@deanarnold6933]

Great product mate , could you please do a video on scopes and magnification needed for f class / long range shooting ? Love everything you post keep it up mate 👍 Cheers

[@danielbrothers2914]

I'm sure there are a ton of guys like myself that would love to hear more in depth detail about the C.H.BC.... Combustion... Harmonics... Ballistic (freedom seeds) concept .. or procedure. Showing the procedure on how to get low ES first.... then show the procedure of the harmonics... (seating depth). You have done well already about the seating depth... but can you show the best and quickest way to get low ES...? Thanks so much... you have GREAT STUFF... KEEP IT UP.

[@userJohnSmith]

A silencer version of this would have me especially intrigued. Still, I'm planning on grabbing one of these for my 6 ARC and maybe for my dad's recent fancy .308. If you plan on doing one of these in 6 mm I'd love that info.

[@TheMerlinmk19]

Chomping at the bit here...can't wait til it comes!

[@stephenembrey883]

Always good informative videos I really appreciate the fact that you are quick to the point and don't waste my phone battery.😂😂

[@riflemania7178]

Not sure if you will see this Eric, but I received the stainless brake/tuner yesterday and shot it today….Wow! Tikka T3TacA1 in a 6.5 Creed…this was a really honest 1/2 MOA rifle with no problem…..setting of 4.5 and this is shooting .25” 5 shot groups all day long now….totally sold on this product….I’ll be ordering another one for my 6GT Open rifle now! Thanks for an awesome product….oh yeah, much better recoil management with this brake vs. the Tikka factory brake as well…gonna be a real hammer in PRS Production Class 🍻

[@saleen308]

Just bought one from DI precision for my Vudoo. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

Not too long ago, I finished building a 6mm ARC longe-range bolt gun with every intention of testing the EC Tuner brake with all 3 of the Hornady ammo offerings (Black, Match and Precision Hunter). I got 2 boxes of each and thoroughly tested everything and was shocked at how effective this tuner was. Groups using the Hornady Precision Hunter had little improvement, but the Match and Black responded remarkably well with the Black being basically 1-hole groups almost impossible to measure and the Match ammo tuning to .234 !!! I will not be reloading for this cartridge. I bought every single bit of the lot numbers I could get my hands on and will simply enjoy shooting this gun and just sell the brass since once-fired brass is an easy sell anyway.

[@cwinter90]

Once you get them in black, I'll be a customer! I'm a Patreon subscriber and would have ordered one early but the only rifle I'd put one on it would look off. Another idea would be one that accepts the same threads but you can still put your own brake on. I currently use a JP Recoil Eliminator on my 6.5mm CM and it looks ridiculous but I really like how it performs on my rifle. I'm able to keep my shots in view throughout the entire shot.

[@KevinWilliams]

Just received mine today, can't wait to try it!

[@wickiuprat]

Let us know if it improved or widened your groups!

[@franckmoris7]

YESS just bought one ... really can't wait to see that

[@txrcnoob]

Damn that it pretty slick. Now I think I may need to get my Barrel threaded.

[@wvlongshooter3912]

Thanks for doing this vid and I now understand it’s threading.

[@SpyStaMia]

I would like to see the original EC as a device that threads on to an existing 5/8 x 24 and allows moderator usage (suppressor). Brilliant product, Mr. Cortina!

[@richerdandrusiak2225]

Nice Alpha Mount on your rifle. How do you like it?

[@stevensolinko8807]

You can do this. He mentioned it in the beginning of this video, and he has a video about it.

[@BurnDuration]

I’m sold! Does it come with a “I neck size only” t-shirt?

[@desertfarmer248]

I so need one of these. Great stuff sir.

[@jcemitte88]

I'm excited to get one. Short of my hunting rifle, all my rifles will start getting one of these bad boys.

[@danpollard4210]

EC tuner brake shows that perfection also shows physical visual beauty!

[@ramsaycountry1177]

That's great Erik, I'll be looking for those 3/4x24 brakes to be released.

[@trentmitche11]

AGREE 100%

[@MatthewsFabrication]

Ordered one of each. Thank you Greatly, 👍🏻👊🏻. Sincerely, Matthew

[@hmoobshow2482]

Will be ordering one in black when they come out

[@metalisit]

Will definitely be ordering one at some point.

[@jaredcrowley5666]

Erik, can you add a sign up to be notified of the black when it comes out?

[@GaryBlankenship96b40]

This is great idea browning has had similiar system on their rifles for decades but cannot add as aftermarket. Not sure how effective would be on ar systems but for bolt accurate guns could be a plus.

[@ironDsteele]

Very cool device. Similar to the Browning BOSS but much more user friendly. Tune the rifle to shoot the ammo rather than vice versa.

[@janduplessis9191]

Good day Erick, Thanks so much for all the great videos and content, I'm new to the reloading scene, and have recently learned of the EC tuner. Id like to know how to get one in South Africa. (2) can it be made to fit a suppressor? As in SA, many places wont allow you to hunt without a suppressor. TIA and thanks for all the great teaching moments. Also, the threads we use , I THINK, is metric?? IDK, now clued up on this at all... My barrel is threaded, for M18/1, if that makes sense??

[@donaldslayton2769]

New subscriber to your channel. You are costing me a lot of money on gear. Long time 7mm rem shooter.

[@rtfjet7]

Bought one. Love it. Definitely effective.

[@calvinlayport3127]

Got something like the Browning boss I can testify the boss works and works good my boss is on a Browning a bolt ll long range Hunter 7mag IV got it where I can shoot 150 -165-or ,175 just by adjusting the boss not the scope so I'd bet anything that break he's got will work two

[@charlesreid2141]

I agree with the comments regarding no muzzle brake. I believe that the world is going to suppressed rifles (ok well at least Texas) and being able to use the tuner with a suppressor would be great

[@williebulletman5217]

Looks like i need to start saving the money for one of these muzzle brake’s

[@chrischreene1547]

Just ordered one. I can't wait to get my 6.5 prc built. Everywhere is literally all out of stock on bartlein .264 barrels -_-

[@metalifann42]

This is awesome. Just ordered one.

[@saywhatyeah3076]

Fancy! David Tubbs been doing it for years

[@rdsii64]

I just put a deposit on my new barrel. When its ready to be shipped and I pay the balance, I am ordering an ECTuner!

[@sparkyferret550]

great video, have you looked at the structured barrels ? Any thoughts on those ?

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Excellent. Thank you sir. Looks fantastic. I have an older unthreaded rifle. Is there an offering available that "clamps" on or is it best to have a gunsmith thread the barrel? Thank you again.

[@professor_thunder]

I hope you sell a million of them Erik. Cheers.

[@markgoldstein3933]

love your vids erik thank you i was wondering if the tuner would work on a beggar b14r with the carbon fiber barrel or the harmonics are different with this barrels ? thanks and keep up the great vids there full of great info .

[@redraiderreloading7612]

Awesome.. I bought a harrels but I like yours better.. lll be ordering one

[@endutubecensorship]

How is it?

[@manuelvargas2608]

My 10 yr old girl can shoot her 308. Nice.

[@endutubecensorship]

@@manuelvargas2608 That's awesome, way to go Dad! Your young lady will remember these fun times forever.

[@manuelvargas2608]

Thanks. I'm still waiting for time to pick the ammo the gun likes and tune it. Hopefully taking her on a Nilgai hunt next year. I can attest to the brake working. She said it felt slightly more than her mini 14. No flinching and no bruising.

[@johntaylor2840]

WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD! I threw it on did some load work up found a good load 144 Berger and H4350 SD of 2.4 on my magneto speed. Loaded up 30 rounds took the magneto speed off and started fine tuning.3 shot groups starting at 1 to 8. Found it grouped well at 4 and 5. So I split the difference and wow! 5 shot group @.18 inches and .22 inches. Absolutely amazing product.

[@ErikCortina]

Thank you

[@johntaylor2840]

Going to have ordering one for my .30 today.

[@VictrixGladioV]

@@ErikCortinaHi Erik, I recently, last week, bought a M18x1 SS black EC tuner brake throughthr Spanish dealer. Apparently, my gun barrel has a M17x1 thread. Is there a solution for it. A converter or can you do tuner brakes with a M17x1 screw thread? Best regards,

[@DSMattitude]

Its kind of like an improved Browning BOSS system. Nice.

[@chriskloster13]

Just placed and order! Would Love to see one in titanium

[@dadelmon79]

Gran trabajo como siempre Erik!! El EC Tuner Brake SS se puede enviar a España o comprar aquí?

[@Dwayne7834]

Thanks for the information and video.

[@joemass1023]

Hi Erik, How did you develop the shape of the ports on the muzzle brake? How does the effectiveness of your brake compare to something like an Area 419 or APA?

[@drone4higher]

Thank you Erik

[@tyler6147]

This has me very curious now. I'm wondering if you could machine a small part that goes from 1/2x28 female to 1/2x28 male and have your adjustment in between the two ends. It only needs to be maybe an inch long, sort of like a barrel extension but with a tuner built in. Why do this you ask? Because you can then run your favorite suppressor while still having the benefits of a tuner.

[@go-wycowboys5018]

I don't understand how you get better groups. The whole concept? I was shopping for a brake when I saw this video. Any help in understanding how it does this would be great. Love what you are doing and thanks for all the great videos and help!

[@ErikCortina]

The tuner influences barrel harmonics in order to influence group size.

[@go-wycowboys5018]

@@ErikCortina Thanks!

[@lawrencekatz5804]

Erik, the new tuner is excellent since it avoids additional work on the barrel. I went to order and it only comes in 6.5 and .308, which I understand. I just ordered a GAP 6mmGt, is it possible to use it with that caliber?

[@fredwilliams7551]

very rarely a product works as advertised...EXCEPT THIS ONE WORKS 1000 PERCENT. BUY IT FOLLOW THE VIDEO AND SHRINK YOU,R GROUPS, BIG TIME...Thanks Eric just bought a new EC for my 338 lapua

[@muskyhunter47]

When the black ones are available I would be very interested in one. I shoot A 28 nosler and every time i shoot it it will jump to the left would i still have that problem with your break ? Thank you

[@robertpage2927]

Been checking prices for threading barrel about 125 to 150 east Texas

Very nice Eric, any numbers on recoiled reduction efficiency? I suppose you have a1000 ready to ship:)

[@patferebee647]

Wanting one of these in black for my lapua

[@b2lee150]

Eric, are the numbers indented enough to where I can Cerakote the Tunerbrake FDE and then go back with a white fine paint brush and color in the numbers?

[@jacobhayner3721]

Best way to find out when they are bake in stock? Also, what does adjusting that thing do??

[@Ceiszi]

One more question on top of all you get. Will you offer those with m14, m15 or m18 threads? Maybe custom made?

[@JJ-tf2qs]

Erik, my rifle shoots a consistent .4 inch group right now. Would you say that your muzzle break tuner would get me down in the .2 range?

[@derrickscruggs399]

I was just curious if there is any way I could get on a pre order list for a black in 6.5

[@daxbrydl2582]

I wondered if there is any way to work up a load while having the EC tuner brake on the rifle. I understand the tuner is to help dial in a load, but I would like to use the brake to reduce recoil while finding a good hand load for the gun.

[@tgo6292]

Do you have a video that explains what the EC tuner does? What does it actually do to the bullet?

[@moomoomlik99]

Would like to see a video on the next gen break

[@DLN-ix6vf]

I installed a Harrell's tuner/brake on my factory Rem 700 223 and my best 5 shot groups have improved by 40%. Tuner/Brakes really shine on factory barrels. My question is I know changing powder weight changes tuner performance but will changing bullet weight also change tuner performance ?

[@johnwilliams-gk1fb]

I love the design, ordered one today, will order another if you can make 6mm

[@johnwilliams-gk1fb]

Because I need the extra 2% 🤣

[@thinkfirst6431]

You must have good connections, you seem to have a lot of these tuners to work with.

[@neighbor4332]

How backed up are you on these? How long of a lead time would I be looking at?

[@mr1234tempo]

So can or do you manufacturer tuners for air rifles? I have a .30 cal. LCS SK-19...Has a Lother Walther barrel with a 1/2 20 thread to accommodate a DonnyFL Emperor moderator.

[@stevewright3154]

Hi , in USA do you have to have muzzle breaks sent off to the proof house (tested) and stamped like we do in the uk ? Are these proofed.?

[@stevecarpenter98]

Since following you I've been intrigued on your tuner and muzzle brakes. How well does the muzzle brake work? I'm trying to tame my 308 down. 2:28

[@tubeonline629]

Would there be any benefit of using this on a .22 rimfire barrel?

[@glennjames1756]

Eric How does the break aspect of your tuner break compare to say a Fat Bastard Break? Does it have as much recoil reduction? Thanks for your time and I really appreciate your videos

[@mikebrinlee780]

How will it work on carbon wrapped stainless barrel I have savage ultra light in 6.5

[@TheWonderman1964]

Hi. I am just wondering how one single turn which moves weight forward 1 mm has that much effect on impact .

[@quintenbeets9613]

Halo Erik what is the life of the EC Tuner? And will it work on a .22? And want to know what rifle will you choose between a .243, 308 and 3006 as the stats is very close?

[@alext4124]

Would I expect to need to adjust the dial/harmonics with different bullet weights?

[@fasteddie9502]

QUESTION: How is this tuner brake used during a load workup? I realize that after a load is found then fine tune. Any guidance would be appreciated.

[@stevensolinko8807]

Does this work by slightly adjusting the length of the barrel? I assume it is perfectly balanced?
