Now I did it - making waves about tuning

[@sakischergkeletzis5494]

I definitely want to see this video!!! It's always good and beneficial for everybody hear and learn from someone who can EXPLAIN!!! Thanks Keith!

[@bross63]

Yes, I want to see that video. Thanks

[@rentcollector40]

Keith, I'd like to know why. I think it's always good to hear people's opinions on things. It allows us to draw our own conclusions and most educated decisions when we can get as many different points of view as we can.

[@EagleEyeShooting]

As a rifle manufacturer primarily 22lr. I've seen an overwhelming request for installing EC V2 tuners. I personally like to brag that my builds while aimed towards NRL22 or PRS22 DO NOT need tuners, many do not completely understand how tuners work. I personally feel it will setup the shooter to chase an endless rabbit hole in trying to find the tune when all they are doing is chasing environmentals for when that particular 22lr ammo likes to shoot

[@robinepps7274]

So, disagreeing with Erik again! How'd that work for ya the last time?

[@EagleEyeShooting]

@@robinepps7274 lol believe everything on YT. But can't see past the video title good for you to judge someone's character over 1 video.... I personally installed his tuners in about 1/3 rifle builds I've done this year with over 410 rifles manufacturered and personally tested down range, they absolutely work and mentioned in many of my videos. Theirs an application for it in 22lr, benchrest, f-class as well as all other shooting discipline. We're all here to learn, opinions and ones experience can help gain knowledge for the community. Ignorant comments are just a plague

[@adamguggisberg8813]

Yes, I want to know!

[@SimpleLife1971]

I for one would love to know why. I will never be able to shoot like you Pro's but really enjoy your contributions and see how you make these rifles so precise! Thank you Keith and look forward to your tuner video!

[@danw4930]

We have enough tuner videos and advertising videos for things we just do not need. Just keep doing what you do best! Your channel is one of my top three favorites for reliable information that you just can not find anywhere else!

[@MichaelMiller-ww9iy]

What are your other two favs?

[@timprogrammer]

Yes I want a tuner video 😅 I’ve heard the new applied ballistics book mentions them in a less positive manner as well (not read myself and don’t know details) so your insight would be welcomed. I enjoy that you are straight shooting (pun intended) and have actively avoided becoming financially incentivised in your content (given products to push etc)… your humour also translates to us brits quite well 😂 please keep up the great content!

[@williamyetman3609]

Yes! Please tell us about tuners! I’m especially interested in your thoughts on the efficacy of tuners with factory match ammunition.

[@cobjread]

Yeah, I'd like to hear your thoughts on tuners. Thanks for all the videos! Very informative.

[@LakeVibe365]

YES tuner video. I have been wanting to know this exact answer for quite a while 🎯

[@dinoc.5537]

Yes, tuner video! It would be great to hear a few angles on the story, but certainly yours first which means F-Open. If there is any gas left in the tank afterwards... hearing about smallbore, Short Range Bench Rest, and light carry, with respect to tuners it would be great!

[@ericbynum9724]

Yes, Please. I truly enjoy how unbiased your videos are.

My first rifle had a tuner, the Browning BOSS system. That was back in the 90’s. Not sure if they were around before that but people seem to think they were recently invited.

[@griffsolutions348]

Yes, interested. I do use them on all my barrels & they have certainly helped me.

Thanks Keith ; would love to know the tuner reason.....thank you for all you do for us....

[@christopherramsey1509]

Yes, I'd like to hear your thoughts on tuners. For someone who doesn't handload, it would be a viable option to tighten groups. I'd think that it could offer benefits on AR platforms, since most of those barrels are already threaded.

[@longship789]

I'd like to hear your thoughts Keith. Byran Litz did an extensive test on tuners. His results did not support the tuner manufacturers' claim that they be used to find a repeatable high precision load.

[@dkiesel4904]

sounds like a great video, I can't wait to see it.

[@brianmassey8645]

Tuners and the physics behind them are of interest to me. It seems like when putting them on blind, they have almost as good a chance of de-tuning a barrel as they do dampening it. I’m interesting in learning more

[@userJohnSmith]

Yeah, (background is physics, but I play an optical and opto-mechanical engineer during the day, good with waves and materials) it changes the way the barrel jiggles. They work, but you have to go through a "load" development cycle just like you would for seating depth. It's faster and more manageable at the range but they aren't magic. Think of it like adding a weight to a string and trying one end to a table. You'll be able to shake that string so it creates a "standing wave"- that's the resonance. Now move the weight, the resonance will change just a bit.

[@mfansail]

I'll bite. Let's here it. Always enjoy your perspective.

[@spyderweb1400]

I want to know since I’ve had good results with tuners on .308 & .260 Rem. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Dan

[@tekanger975]

Absolutely I want to know!

[@davecollins6113]

I don't see a need for a tuner for myself as I'm not competing in any small group disciplines these days, and if I was, it wouldn't be allowed anyway. But the insight you gained into what you like or don't like about them by using them, is valuable to people who may want to invest in them. I agree people think it is an wasy button to save effort at the range, that isn't necessarily as easy as they think it may be.

[@snowman3219]

Tuners are the best things since sliced bread for us mortals that can’t afford a custom built rifle. The EC Tuner is Voodoo magic on every rifle I have put it on, and has saved me $$$$ on ammo.

I want to see a video o tuners Keith! I used to have the sort of tuner that Browning and Winchester had on their rifles 20-30 years ago and found they did work on the Browning A bolt I had and brought the 1 1/2” inch group down to an almost 1/2” inch group

[@yd8hw]

Its funny RAD (ReloadingAllDay) has been talking about how tuners dont work for at least a year now in his reloading classes.

@@ericrumpel3105 i have no room to talk. I’m planning to run a brake on my next build. I figured if I’m going to do that might as well run a tuner brake in case i ever wanted to go down that rabbit hole. If not i will just leave it set to 0 and use it as a brake only.

[@mindaugask1]

Yes we need it to understand ::-)

[@nineteendelta770]

The subject of barrel tuning is complex. There is an entire engineering discipline dedicated to the subject called vibrations. From my experience as an engineer, I would say the temperature of the barrel is more important that a tiny weight at the end of the barrel. Every barrel has a harmonic frequency, that is a frequency at which it reaches resonance. This frequency is affected by barrel length, barrel thickness, and barrel material. A shorter thicker barrel will have a higher frequency but lower amplitude. The amplitude is what we see on paper. The barrel material property that affects frequency and amplitude is modulus of elasticity. Modulus of elasticity is affected by temperature. Modulus of elasticity also changes from material to material. Carbon fiber has a much higher modulus of elasticity than steel.

Keith, Please do a report on tuners. I'm looking forward to one. Cheers

[@recgolf]

I would like to hear your thoughts on this topic. Over the last year I have been playing around with two 308 WIN rifle builds for my fun and knowledge. Both use 308 FTR 30" barrels, same scope, same brass, 2000.20X Berger bullets, same powders, same primers, same processes. Only difference is the action, one "stock", one "target". I just sent the stock barreled action away to get a tuner installed. Looking to see if it changes the performance of the rifle. I figure if the "cheaper", lower end, action/rifle can be improved with at tuner then maybe I would consider it for some of my other builds. I anticipate that one of the answers might be that you can do the same thing with bullet seating depth as you can with a tuner. I am looking forward to seeing if that is true and/or if one is easier. So, YES! I would like to hear your input. I will still run my own "tests", but I always respect your views.

[@DLN-ix6vf]

I installed a Harrell's tuner/brake on my FACTORY Rem. 700 223 and my 5 shot groups @ 100 yds. reduced from 5/8" to 3/8" using Sierra 69gr. @ 2800 fps. Personally I think tuner/brakes shine on factory barrels ps: those barrels you have shown are huge chunks of steel and I doubt they vibrate at all

[@wes1spence]

Yes I would like to see this vid!! I have a cortina tuner for my 22lr took it off. Was going to try it on a centerfire

[@rustynut1967]

😆 I had one of his tuner brakes on a centerfire and took it off and was thinking about putting it on my 22LR.

[@wes1spence]

Well to be honest I was using 3 or 4 brands of ammo and I didn’t get .25 groups at 50 yds. I have a savage mk2 that was able to shoot .25 groups with wolf extra match without a threaded muzzle. The ruger precision and a 722 made by the company that makes the cricket rifle showed a bit better groups with on than off. The 22lr ammo unless you lot test is unreliable. Mine does not have the brake just tuner with thread adapter. With center fire hand loads at 600 yds with tuner would probably be a better test.

[@rustynut1967]

@@wes1spence Oh yeah, I'm familiar with lot testing. But I can't even find any type of SK ammo, which my gun likes most of their various types, let alone trying to find a specific lot number. That's why I was considering a tuner.

[@johnh4957]

I'd like that video to include background about harmonics, positive compensation in load development, and if possible use in 22lr shooting. and why it seems my best tune is the 'zero' mark-is it just additional weight(I forget how it compared to bare metal), and if used for variable like temperature at different location what would be the least shots needed to decide best tune(as I understand it a barrel only has a limited number of shots at the competition level).. haha need to compare cost to setting the seating depth at the match set up.
