Tuner

[bench]

Building a new prairie dog rifle and was thinking of getting combo break and barrel tuner.
Have any of you used a barrel tuner for this type of application and do they work as advertised.
This will be used on a 1.250 straight cly barrel.

I know they work I have them on all my guns. They will be on display at the shot show pm me and I will get you information. Larry

My own inputs are; the brake aspect can aid greatly to spotting shots and hits, especially from bigger calibers.
My experience with tuners is, yes they can increase accuracy when orchestrated with tested and proven settings.
I believe a tuner can improve the accuracy of a poorer tuned load, and at times exceptionally.
I believe they can widen a good tuned load, which gives them more potential, hence accuracy.
But I also strongly believe they can hurt over-all accuracy when there not set to an optional position, is a con. That I've seen play out more so with "tuner/brake" designs then by just a "tuner" without a brake. As well as gains and/or losses between designs.

I have used tuners on all my completion rifles for 3 y. I love them. A tuner allows you to fine tune a load and keep it in tune over a period of time. I use Bob Greens tuners. They are a tuner only, not a brake. I tune a load to where it is pretty good with out the tuner installed, then install the tuner and fine tune to shooting tiny holes. I just took a 6BRX barrel off with 4000 rounds on it that I did very well with last season. Every time the accuracy would start to go away I would bump my seating out about .003, make a trip to the range and retune with the tuner. You can not just throw any load in the gun and expect it to tune to knot holes. But if you start out with a good load you can make it better and keep it there with a tuner used properly.
