One of the best pod-cast ever here. Tim knows what he is talking about. I went out on a weather change today to check a load for my 6PPC and realized I had a tad of horizontal. My V-2 tuner setting for the load is 35 since 30, 35, & 40 gave me the tightest groups. I set the tuner back to 30 and forward to 40 and horizontal was still there. Set it back to 35 and seated 5 bullets .003 deeper. You guessed it . Horizontal was gone. Keep up the good work Erik with getting knowledgeable people on the pod-cast. Tim is a winner.

Oh well, the cat is out of the bag now. Yes, we Aussies have been mucking around with Positive Compensation since Adam was a boy. But it's only half the story, and no - negative compensation is not the other; that's just the flip (negative) side of the same coin. The other half is ajusting and managing the amplitude of Positive Compensation using the barrel you have. But that's another story for for another time. And again, there are a number of tools we can use, barrel tuners are just one option; number 3 on my list. That said, the video is already nearly 2 hours long. Well done Tim, you explained it well.

This conversation is very informative from a scientific standpoint. Everything that you two have covered has an effect on our shooting, from a target standpoint. But and I am an old shooter at 73, most people man woman and child only want to know that there gun is going to hit that animal where they are aiming. I came from an era where we hunted to feed the family. To shoot twice was not acceptable. Personally, I am enthralled by this conversation, not that it will affect me, but hopefully have a better understanding of the results when I do shoot. This is my first foray into long range and realize that this old dawg can still learn. Thanks very much!

I want to Believe the "Positive Compensation" theory but I've got to see the Target first! Staying tuned for the follow-up on this topic. Erik, just my thoughts for how to test for positive compensation. Do the ladder test that Tim suggested to find a charge weight near the middle of the positive compensation ramp. Tim's example at 1:02, has a positive compensation charge of say 94.5 grains near the middle of the upward ramp, so go either side of this and load 10 rounds each at 93.5 and 95.5 (both still in the positive compensation range). Then shoot alternating shots at distance recording each shot velocity and position. May want to use something like 306/6.5CM so the amount of drop will be higher. See if you can shoot a horizontal line or do the shots tend to fall into group vertically based on charge weight and/or velocity?

as soon as the primer strike occurs a small resonance will travel throughout the entire rifle, then the primer detonates/fires and a second resonance will occur, then the powder burn/detonates and a third resonance, and fourth the actual bullet down the barrel will cause resonance. The more dense an object is the faster a wave will travel through it. IE, hit metal with a hammer vs hit a foam pad with a hammer. Since a rifle is metal the vibration will travel down the barrel faster than the bullet. Vibration is sound. So the speed of sound in air which is less dense is 343 m/s, metal which is more dense is 5120m/s. m/s is meters per second. speed of sound is 1125 ft/sec. 5120 m/s is 16,797.9 ft/sec. A 308 bullet travels at 2800 ish ft/sec. So the vibration from detonation is traveling significantly faster than the bullet down the barrel. Basically, I'm trying to say that the wave/vibration which is sound, is traveling significantly faster down a metal barrel than the actual bullet is. So the barrel is then likely taking on its own harmonic as the metal molecules transfer the sound/vibration traveling through it. A question would be is the sound traveling through the metal enough to change or affect the bullet? The vibration IS way ahead of the bullet, 15 times faster. I would say 65k psi is enough pressure to cause a lot of vibration/sound. This is absolutely causing the barrel to "whip" . Not sure if any of this makes sense, but I bought one of your runners and it's awesome. Well made, looks good, easy to use, works as advertised. Thanks for doing these videos. Think musical instrument tuners, by tightening up the strings the string vibrates faster... My belief is the tuner tightens up the vibration of the barrel making it more accurate. It vibrates faster so it vibrates less distance making the barrel more accurate. Less amplitude more accurate.

Would 1gr increments in smaller cartridge work just as well? Min Maks for typical 140gr bullet in 6.5 with H4350 is somewhere between 41.5gr and 36.5gr…However I dont know anyone that would run a 6.5 that slow…(36.5). To get 6 data points for the tune graph would one then perhaps start at 42.0gr (pressure depending) and work back in 1gr or perhaps 0.5gr to end at 39.5gr?

59:29 Theory: Seating depth changes extreme spread because it's changing burn time and psi before bullet leaves case and hits the rifling, with everything else equal. The usable case volume is changing with seat depth changes. This extra volume creates a deadband or shock absorber, evens out the psi from slightly different charge weights. No gap magnifies any powder variation and e.s. goes up. The static force (psi) to start the bullet moving into the chamber rifling is more than the kinetic force to keep it moving down the barrel. (Maybe?) These 2 forces will balance smoother with the ideal headspace, and powder differences get evened out in the barrel instead of a hard initial hit that sends big harmonics and shocks the barrel, inconsistent es. Just thinking out loud.

When a limbsaver ( rubber donut) is placed 1/3 of the barrel length from the muzzle, that third is 3 times the original barrel frequency. That will cause the front 1/3 of the barrel to move 3 times as fast and 1/3 the distance resulting in 1/3 the dispersion-smaller groups.

I’ve heard before that when you think about powder and loads you can have fps variations even measuring down to the kernel of powder. The reason can be because some powders per kernel have density differences and when you put that into a case of a certain size that there is going to be differences in the volume and that can lead to these variations. Honestly I think that volume plays a bigger role in fps than measuring by kernels. I’d like to see you, Erik, do a test on velocity dropping powder from a thrower and by measuring per kernel of powder and what the bigger ES is between the 2.

First of all I watch almost every video in this series and hit the like button on all of them. I have definitely implemented things I've learned in some of them. I find this one frustrating because there's so much information presented as fact and no evidence to back it up. Not even exceptional performance by the person giving it out(which given his decades of shooting should exist if he's got some large advantage in tuning). There's never been a dead calm day? "My guns are the most accurate I just can't prove it on target". After hearing that and the "I've talked to a bunch of scientists and they all agree with me" multiple times it really makes it a lot harder to take him seriously. This is exactly the kind of language used by snake oil salesmen(I'm not accusing him of being one). There were also a bunch of statements he made that are in direct conflict to what you've claimed previously Eric. The two biggest being that tuners do not compensate for seating depth and that they only correct for vertical dispersion not a general shrinking of group size. He asserts that a tuner cannot, by itself, take an inaccurate gun and make it more accurate. He also says that a tuner needs to be custom made/weighted for the specific gun to work properly. One of the main things I've learned from these podcasts is that no one really understands what is actually happening and most of the experts have firm opinions that are in direct opposition to each other. To be clear I understand what he's saying and some of it does sound plausible. I'm not sure it matters enough to worry about. At the end of the day It should be very easy to prove that tuners work once and for all in a statistically relevant double blind test yet I haven't seen a single one. I'm not saying they don't work because I don't know for sure. I know they can change bullet impact location but I've yet to see someone shoot 25+ shots at the "good" setting, then make a small change to a "bad" setting to shoot 25 more, then switch it back to the good to prove that it's repeatable. Ideally with someone moving the tuner for them so they don't know which setting it is on. Let the gun cool and clean it to bare metal between tests followed by a few warm up shots before each string. If shooter fatigue becomes an issue you can run it twice on separate days in the opposite direction. Why not? Given the die hard tuner enthusiasts and all the companies that could benefit from showing this test working it seems likely that it has been tried and they did not get the results they wanted. Therefore we never saw the video. At the end of the day I appreciate the effort you're putting into making all the information you can available. I'm guessing that if we actually do figure out what really works best it will end up being more simple than we think because so many of the top shooters in every discipline use different ways to get there. That was quite the rant on my part!

I applaud Tim and Eric for their openness and willing to share information. It is not helpful to slander these well intentioned gentlemen by referring to them as snake oil salesmen. Why do you have to be so mean spirited with people that are trying to help you learn and become a better shooter? Time to take a look in the mirror my friend. Good luck with your cynicism….

@@timburke2785 I literally said I wasn't accusing him of being a snake oil salesmen in the same sentence you read those words. I said those type of statements are typical of people who are. Frankly, if you have a tuning method that makes your guns more accurate than others who don't use it you should be able to show that's true. Eric has won all those competitions without using these methods. I also said that I watch and "like" every video Eric puts out and that I appreciate and have used some information gained from them. There was no slandering involved. I was expressing frustration at the lack of data driven proof and that many of the videos featuring proven shooters directly contradict each others methods/claims. How is a new shooter supposed to determine who is right? There is nothing wrong with skepticism and asking for evidence. My intentions are in no way mean spirited. I would bet that if you asked Eric if he agreed with all the claims in the video he would say no and have his own reasons for feeling that way. It can just be counter productive and adversarial to point that out during the interview. I want everyone to shoot better and enjoy the various disciplines because I want to be able to compete with them for many years to come!

Erik uses a tuner for different reasons then what Tim is teaching and talking about if you watch this podcast with a open mind you will truly understand that its proof how exit timing shows that tuners do work. And that barrels do move prior to bullets leaving the barrel. And that shifting weight on the barrel changes the rate and amplitude of movement. . Positive compensation is a fact of physics as a bullet goes where its directed and there are benifits to its use.

Sounds like this concept goes some distance to explain why the old Canadian High Power competitors claimed that really good individual Lee Enfield rifles could to a large degree self compensate for different ammo. Lots of flex in that action!

You guys cost me a lot of money this month chasing small groups. I was ignorant but now I'm poor.
