Thanks,

Yes I do. They weigh 6 oz.

Eric, what is your installation fee?

 

[Erik Cortina]

Eric, what is your installation fee?

$50 plus cost to ship barrel back.

 

[Immike]

That sounds like a very reasonable price. Do you leave the original crown on the barrel or have to set it back?

Here's a picture of a Jackie Schmidt tuner fabricated with aluminun and a marine prop shaft bearing made with brass and rubber.

This is the tuner that was on Jackies HV 30BR rig when he almost set a new HV agg record a few years back in Midland,Texas...

it weighs approx 5oz....

In the Daily Bulletin October 9 2013 they have the RAS tuner. These tuners have been used to win national events and have made national records.

May interest some while talking about the tuners. I can't remember but once you work up an accuracy node and seating depth as I have, and install tuner and adjust to shrink the group..... do I have to change this with varying temp or conditions?

No, once you set it treat it like a solid barrel.

I leave the original crown unless otherwise specified. If the gun has more than 500 rounds through it it would not be a bad idea to refresh the crown.

Thanks Erik. I am almost certain my load is in a good range, as I followed your method. Then did seating to tighten groups. Tuner sounds easier to fine tune a load

i decided to go with the Buky's type tuner it has a rubber segment they think helps absorb vibrations

Eric what has to be done to the barrel to be installed?

Erik what has to be done to the barrel to be installed?

Barrel needs to be turned down and threaded.

Erik,

If the barrel is straight at the muzzle, could one not bore the tuner to a few thou larger than the barrel diameter and use the green cylindrical loc tite to install?

That way no threading, machining on the barrel and removeable with a heat gun!
