It's really no different than tuning at a match without a tuner.
Ezell barrel tuner interpreting results
- Thread starter 6mmHot
- Start date
Exit timing. Know where the barrel is pointed at bullet exit. Figure out where you want the barrel to be pointed and adjust to that.

Hi Mike, I’ve not had a chance to redo the full tuner test with that rifle but I’m away at Bisley for a competition so thought I’d try a few shots on our 600 yard electronic target. I did as you suggested and moved the tuner in 2 divisions and the gun shot great after the high left shots number 3+4 I lowered the elevation by 1/4 MOA and the rest of the group was great considering the F class bull is 6” and the V is 3” more testing when I get home. By the way tune 24 didn’t shoot as well!
Thanks for the time you’ve taken to reply.

When I bought my Ezell tuners I was told not to skip a single number when doing the ladder test. What I wasn't told was to start one full turn out. Seems everyone else knew about this but me?
Because that's not necessarily true. I do tuner instruction in detail by phone and I include a pretty generic instruction sheet with them. Both say to start from 1/2-1 full turn from bottomed out. Most people bring zero to the top anywhere within that range. But where you start isn't as critical as where you end up, but yes, I recommend what I just stated. The one thing I don't do is leave my customers short on instruction and I do my best to make myself available by phone during business hours. This is a big part of why I ONLY do business by phone. So we can go over every detail and to answer every question I possibly can. Instructions and service are very important with tuners and I take pride in offering this better than anyone.
I'm not sure who you are by your screen name on here but rest assured, I'm most happy to go over every detail in depth with you by phone. Happy to help. Where did you start?---Mike Ezell
ps...you are correct about moving 1 mark at a time during the test. If you were referring to 6mmHOT moving 2 divisions in his post that you quoted, I think he did so based on his group shape after sending me a target and getting my opinion on what he should do to correct it. If you and I spoke, we probably went over this aspect at least to some degree. Sounds like it worked for him, based on his comments above.

Is this the "ladder" test you did?

I know when I bought my tuner from Mike he spent about an hour on the phone with me explaining the process and trying to make sure I understood what he was selling and what it could do along with how to use it, if anything was missed it was my fault for not being able to keep up with my notes. But Mike told me once it's installed and I'm ready to go use it give him a call back to refresh things. I did call him back twice and he spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me, more than your typical person running a business. And lets just say it works as he stated.. every bit as good as he stated.

You would kind of want to be able to go an equal amount either way from the get go.
not knowing what its going to do yet from the first shot
Why or why not? There's an answer. If ya don't know, you should say that. Your answer implies you don't.
Im all for helping but there's already way too much plain wrong info out there about tuners. So just please stop.

Ok, I would want to be able to turn in or out from the start.
Or I would want the option to be able to tune incrementally inward from the beginning
When I installed a tuner I started at one full turn out for this reason
As opposed to only being able to turn outward
---
this is because, so far my load development has shown to be on
since I have been informed if your load is in perfect tune, a tuner cannot improve upon perfection
that being the case, using deductive reasoning, I should not need to turn the tuner much more than a slight amount either way.
---
say if all I needed for a better tune... was to be able to go 1 increment inward, for it to be in better tune
I would not be able to do so if I started all the way bottomed out

I am speaking from my own recent experience

Are you reading the thread and do you know how many marks are within a half or a full revolution?
My instructions are to start anywhere from a half to a full revolution from bottomed out. There are 32 marks per revolution. IOW, it appears you are not familiar.

I am using an EC tuner
the thread was dead for over a year, until today.
and I merely was echoing the experience I seen of this statement

Pardon me if I intruded

Well, this thread is about a different tuner. Its in the title. Not trying to be a Richard but instruction should not be inferred between makes, as there can be significant differences.
Im not cherry picking quotes but you keep adding to yours after I reply.
I will say..I think that any tuner that doesn't come with very, very in depth instruction...should.
