TESTED: NEW EC Tuner Brake

[@Walleye_Warrior]

I have the EC tuner brake on my 6.5 RPR Creedmore, first thing I noticed, the muzzle jump was gone, and within a few minutes I was shooting 1 hole groups, so I ordered a 2nd EC tuner for my 300 PRC RPR,

[@dirklabuschagne473]

Have you shot it on the 300PRC? Recoil reduction good?

[@Walleye_Warrior]

@@dirklabuschagne473 I have shot it on my RPR, which comes with a huge brake from factory, the EC tuner works great to tune, with just slightly more recoil

[@weloveups831]

Only thing missing for me is. They did not show, does that setting repeatable. One group doesn't seal the deal! They speak of it at the end. Is there a follow up video.

[@scarecrow6292]

If you put gorilla tape on the back of your target it holds the paper together really well and you can get a better idea of the group size without the tearing of the paper.

I'm just glad Eric's dedication and hard work is finally getting shown to more people. This whole system has come from his many year's of precision shooting into his own workshop that was specifically built to build something like this.ThankQ.TkEZ>UK

[@TheClandestineArmory]

It’s a redesign of brownings BOSS is all this is.

[@pstewart5443]

I have two of these and I love it when the rifle goes into tune. It doesn't make a sound when firing. When it's out of tune it's like a tuning fork going off every shot. This brake basically takes out the need to move the bullet in and out to find the seating depth the rifle likes. You can make it even smaller a group by adding that in, but really 0.2 is fine for PRS. I have had no issues with repeatability. Erik stands by his product and at F-Class and PRS matches I see a ton of EC tuners, because he makes other styles and calibers.

[@fourtenfifty]

I have Erik's EC TUNER on my 6.5X47 Lapua and cut my group size in half down to .31" shooting 140 Berger Hybrid. Then put it on my .224 Valkyre and again my group size was reduced to .30" shooting 80.5 Berger fullbore target. Reminded me of my old Browning BOSS tuner from many years ago. Thank you Erik!

[@paullavallee1631]

My first example of a barrel tuner was a model 70 Winchester with a boss system, once adjusted it was amazing how much effect it had on group size with factory ammunition

[@evanwindom]

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner. I have older Winchester and Browning rifles with the BOSS installed, and they pretty much eliminate so-called "ammo pickiness". It doesn't work with everything, but the BOSS will help make your rifle "like" a much larger range of loads, and will produce groups you'll love.

[@TheMerlinmk19]

I have it (in polished stainless and would rather have black) and I ran a very comprehensive test. There is no doubt that it works exactly as advertised and designed. My range was from around 3/4 moa to inside 1/4 going through the settings. My sweet spot is at "4" and it's good still at just past 3 and just short of 5.

[@joejr9653]

Great idea about taking it off and putting back on to see if results stay true.

[@karlcapobianco8121]

[@wvlongshooter3912]

I put this ec tuner brake on a rifle that shoots amazing. I just wanted to c if I could get rid of an occasional flyer when using a bullet that actually needed a faster twist barrel. After adjusting the tuner I have completely eliminated the flyer issue. I’m very impressed with this product!!! I’ve put off getting a barrel with a faster twist.

[@Mattytube18]

I like your partner’s idea for swapping, taking notes and repeatability.

[@mikewaite5849]

I bought a EC Tuner for my Remington 700-7mm REM Mag elk hunting rifle. My results were definitely similar to yours. My three shot groups went from .815 @ 100 yds to .279” @ 100 yds. I did have a setting where my groups opened up to over 1” (1.40”) then back to my best grouping. As a side note I was using IMR-4831 powder and Nosler 160 gr Accubond bullets.

[@len5019]

I would be interested in seeing the additional three or five-shot groups to see if the results are actually consistent and remain improved over time.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Bingo.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Also wonder if it's repeatable. Could you get it dialed, go back a bit, end on your number, and have the same POI / Group.

[@bartleyboy4]

Statistics of distribution do not favor barrel tuners. Two 30 shot groups, one without tuner and 1 with the tuner in a “node” could tell us definitively if the tuner works, but I’ve never seen this done.

[@rom14141]

I started reloading this year and I have an EC tuner break on my 300 wm. The best I could get my reloads was a half inch group but by using the EC tuner I’m now shooting 1/4 inch groups. With factory ammo my gun will shoot 1 inch groups but the EC tuner will help me get them under a 1/2 inch groups. My rifle is a Christensen arms ridgeline. I have also changed the stock. With the stock change and the tuner break it kicks less than my 7mm-08. I enjoy watching your videos because you are very informative. Please keep up the good work.

[@careyemory7757]

Gavin i have the original Ec Tuner on my custom 6xc just like everybody i was a little skeptical to but had the gunsmith install it on a Bartlien heavy varmint on a Defiant action. All i can say is this gun is a tack drive went through some test and settled on number eight, shot a five shot group at 100 yards just under 1/4 inch group, did this test a couple more times same results, it’s made me a believer.

[@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.

[@ncwg2boatguy]

Another killer aspect of tuner is if you run data in temp changes and record it, you can tune load in colder/warmer weather. I run a 6.5 Lapua for PRS and it works. Without having 2 different loads.

[@tommysmith8801]

I dont have one yet. And was wondering if that could be tested. Awesome info.

Just bought an EC tuner brake. I’m having it installed now. Can’t wait to try it out. My best 5 shot group from my .308 is .478 with Federal premium 168 BTHP. This video has me really excited to see how much tighter my groups can get.

[@BLUELEADER78]

Have you had a chance to test it?

[@rodgerkunkle1847]

@@BLUELEADER78 I did a lot of shooting and testing this month. The EC Tuner brake did a fantastic job. I did most of my testing with Federal premium 175 bthp ammo. I did some testing with 168 and was able to tighten the groups down to .365 for a five-shot group. I ran out of 168 and switched to 175 BTHP. Before the EC brake my rifle would shoot the 175 in the 3/4 moa range very consistently. I started firing 2 shot groups at 0 going in increments of 2. At setting 2 they were touching but I continued on all the way back to 0 being 10. Setting 2 and 8 were both touching. 8 was very slightly tighter. I dropped back to 7 and went in half step adjustments. At 7 it had opened up to about 1/2", 7.5 was about the same, skipped 8, 8.5 was almost 1 hole but I could see it was 2 shots. Setting 9 was 1 hole, I couldn't tell through my spotting scope that 2 shots were there. I sent 3 more making it a 5 shot group. Subtracting the .308 for the bullet diameter the group measured .210. Thats a .518 hole with a .308! Wow, factory Remington 700 PSS .308 26" 1:12 twist with a Timney trigger and an EC Tuner brake is shooting factory ammo sub 1/4 moa !! Will it do it every day, probably not but that remains to be seen. I can say that I am a 100 percent believer in the EC Tuner brake.

[@bernardcochran9709]

This sounds like the product I may need. I had a load that consistently shot .5” inch groups at 100 yards with single digit ES/SD. Shot a 4” six shot group at 995 yards with that load. Then I ran out of powder and switched to a different lot of the same powder. For reasons I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out why the groups went to crap. I would have three touching and two fliers high and low. However, the velocity node stay the same with single digit ES/SD at the same charge weight. The velocity did drop approximately 50 fps though. I also developed a load for a couple 308 rifles that have BDC reticles, is gas operated and the other is bolt action. The load I’ve developed runs identical ES/SD in both rifle, low teen ES and single digit SD, and the ballistics match the BDC reticle. The bolt gun shoots a consistent .5” five touching group at 100 yards, but the gas gun shoots .8”. I imagine this brake may shrink those gas gun groups down some more.

very cool product. unfortunately, my tuner is a suppressor. it only has 2 settings: on and off... i prefer the "on" option!

[@onelegwest]

Great video. So... With the EC tuner, a person could develop a very fast load and then use the EC tuner to tighten the groups. Correct?

[@GunFunZS]

Yeah basically your method would be run a ladder and pick the charge weight that has the smallest standard deviation on velocity. Then load up a bunch of that load. And take the ones you just loaded that are all the same load with your best standard deviation of velocity, and shoot a fire you shot group turn out the turner. Shoot another group. Turn out the tuner. And so on. By the time you've done say 50 rounds there you should have found a couple of nodes that are fairly accurate. You know I don't have to compromise between a harmonic node and a consistent velocity node you can choose both. You adjust your powder to be the consistent velocity and you adjust your barrel to be the consistent harmonic.

[@onelegwest]

@@GunFunZS Thanks. I've been working up a load for my hunting rifle using Barnes 175gr .308 LRX with Superformance powder with CCI250 primer and Winchester brass. I've used Dan Newberry's OCW method and I tried the Saterlee 10-shot ladder test and they both gave me 58.0 gr of Superformance as the sweet spot. I then played with the seating depth, but my riflescope started acting funny and it turned out to be defective. I finally got a new/used Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44mm scope 2 days ago so I hope to get back to the range soon and finish the load development. Cheers!

[@GunFunZS]

@@onelegwest I'm willing to bet money on two things. 1 you were probably a much better shot than me. 2 The defect of that rifle you rejected was probably more than sufficiently accurate for the hunting you're actually going to do with it. And the third thing that I won't bet on but do suspect is that you will end up with a very accurate load by the time you are done.

[@mikewaite5849]

I used the 30 caliber EC Tuner Brake on my 700 Remington CDL 7mm Remington Magnum and the difference was worth every penny spent. Results on my hand loads- three shot groups starting 0.78” we shrunk to 0.19” which essentially was one button hole. Never look back!

[@Notjay95]

For those weary of the tuner brake; buy one and install it as if it were a standard brake. Develop a load conventionally with a powder and seating depth node that shoots well. When you go to a match and your groups start opening up because of throat erosion or change in temperature/pressure, you can adjust your tuner on the fly as a backup. I think this thing can cut your load development time in half. It would be so nice to find a powder charge with low sd and then you could essentially finish your load development in 1 day at the range as opposed to making a bunch of trips back to your reloading bench

[@fullwhackparamotoring2420]

So is it safe to say that using a magneto speed could alter your guns groups and make a good load look bad? My custom 270 stacks rounds in a 1/4 MOA group all day long but last time I shot it with my magneto speed the group's were about 3/4 MOA and I was confused because it was the same load. Now I'm thinking the magneto speed effected my harmonics. I guess from now on during load development I'll only use the magneto speed after I find a load that groups well.

[@Tfox31]

It can have an effect on the harmonics. I agree find a good load then use the chrono for data.

Would this make any difference on a carbon fiber barrel ??? On a Christensen MPR 6.5 Creedmoor ????

[@TheMerlinmk19]

Yes, I have mine on a Crbristensen carbon fiber 6.5 ca10dmr - great success

Really interesting. This subject matter has been of many topics on several LIVE show, using a "barrel tuner or not"... And it really is interesting to see so many other there building a general census for the Pro's & Con's of this. Also worth mentioning, many of these folks that are already going on with this adventure of experimenting with a barrel tuner, of various brands and types, it will be crazy interesting to see the various calibers. Something so simple, yet, exceptionally complicated. These kinda remind me of the sky-scraper tuned dampers. (the multi-ton chunk of steel at the very top of the sky scraper to calm the swaying down), yet, it is just a chunk of heavy mass, hanging from cables, all the while ever so delicately balanced or tuned to the buildings harmonics.. I look forward to trying one in the future. I am a bit away's from trying one just yet, as my skill set is still too messy, to be able to notice a difference, as per, is the P.O.I. me, or the rifle system or weather, etc.... Soon though. that will be fun to play with a few of these various types of anti-harmonic / damper units.. Thank you for showing the graphs, I enjoy that seeing that kinda stuff, it helps my mind understand further what you are saying in a 2D format.. Thank you.

What I would like to know is tuning for conditions. Say you go out in the morning and shoot. Then the weather conditions change effecting your load for afternoon shoot. Or a cold front moves through. Could you add settings to your dope for different conditions? And would they be repeatable enough to make it feasible?

[@76MUTiger]

Is this something that would fit on a Remington 700 25-06? Do I have to cut threads onto the barrel or does it connect some other way?

[@mattfleming86]

The barrel would need to be threaded by a smith.

[@awbernardy]

I want to try that brake system out on my 338 RUM... it has been a finicky round for me ... it has a 28" McGowan 1-9" twist barrel that is 1.062 at the muzzel and wonder if I might bennifet from this brake

[@donaldpowers8331]

Erics Tuner Brake will cut your recoil in half.

[@ajbuschm]

I think to really tell if the tuner did anything you need a control sample of groups. For example, what would the graph at 5:26 look like if you just left the tuner on 0 and shot 7 3-shot groups? Obviously they wouldn't all be the same size. Is it possible if you shot 7 groups with the tuner on the same setting that you would shoot one group as small as .43 and another as large as 1.007? One 3 shot group is way too small of a sample to determine any statistical relevance at all. It is possible that the the gun shoots exactly the same on every tuner setting if a large enough sample of shots is used.

[@SModEVO]

I thank you for the test and the results. I will be buying one to test on my various rifles. But find it interesting you're shooting $3-5K rifle/scope setups but ran out of ammo. ;-)

[@Farmerboy78]

So I'm curious about this... is it possible to test where you find multiple nodes for a given load. To see if there is an impact change across the different nodes. To find the higher impacting node ( if possible) to be sure you have the node at the top of the harmonic wave.

[@PHILSHOE81]

The browning Boss is just like the break. I have it on my a bolt 2 medallion 280 rem. It really works

[@bfdadventure]

I had great success with the predecessor Browning BOSS on rifles in past. I often wonder why Browning quit offering the BOSS?

[@mikejoeinc.1478]

I just got mine today and installed it. Question do you work up a load and then start turning the tuner or grab any load

[@ZeeGerman36]

I ordered a stainless one for my 300PRC RPR but didn't get to install it yet. Then EC announced the black nitride ones so I got one of those for the RPR and the other is getting the ultimate harmonics test - an M1A in a M14.ca aluminum chassis.

[@locapitano]

May be a dumb question but I see you were using the magneto chrono. Being that it’s attached to the muzzle, won’t that play in to the barrel harmonics?

[@ctclimberguy34]

Did you find it was repeatable? If you take it off a rifle & use it on another then replace do settings stay the same?

[@Snailz5]

Can we get a follow up on the repeatability of settings after swapping it around? Also, could we get maybe 4 or 5 3 shot groups rather than singles? It’s all well and good to see the thing work in concept, but increasing the sample size to show those initial findings actually hold up would be valuable for know whether this is a product worth purchasing.

[@josecanisales3491]

What is the minimum diameter at the muzzle for the threads to be cut?

[@dan2304]

For tuning a particular load, is distance from the rifling done first or powder charge done first?

[@bongdudugenio9947]

i would like to know how 450 bushmaster behave & benefit to this tuner for a big bore?

[@patrickflynn6704]

Great video guys the EC tuner brake sounds like a good idea and I think I'll give it a try one thing though you never mentioned how well it helps on recoil and if I'm not mistaken you use it only on a Mac grade barrel well how well will it work on a factory barrel would be nice to know and see the results well keep testing hope everything goes well and everything stays in the bullseye I like all your videos good going thank you for information that I might be able to use

[@wardo17]

When you are setting up your rifle.....do you get the optimal powder and then did you add the tuner brake and start adjusting it?

[@Tfox31]

Typically we start with the bullet we want to shoot then powder and powder charge. The tuner brake would come once you have hit the variable you are “aiming” for, low es, sd, or velocity. Then tune the brake.

[@claw1952]

Browning used to have what they called the B.O.S.S. It worked great. I have a Browning Abolt in 270 WSM with a Boss on it and will shoot sub moa all day long, once i got it fine tuned.

[@ValcoBayrunner]

What chassis was his 6.5 Creed Howa rifle mounted in ?
