[Bottom Fodder]

Is the tuner fad over don’t hear much talk about now comparing to a year ago

 

[swd]

I see more guns than ever with them now.

 

[Capt. Oblivious]

Didn't Hornady say they don't work...

 

[Dolomite]

It might help the accuracy with hornady bullets.

 

[MikeRu]

I'm still a user (of tuners)!

 

[Jonnyofalltrades]

I think that everyone has pretty much figured out that they work.
Give it a few years and Hornady will come out with a tuner.

 

[Tim Singleton]

I’m going back to basics this year
No tuner for me in 25

Didn't Winchester use tuning screws in the forearm of some 52d's in the 1950's? A 70+ year old fad? They have evolved over time but tuners are going strong and I see more at matches than ever.

I have a Winchester 75 Target from the 40's that has a factory tuner band that's tightened by a screw and it works!

I think that there are more that have a tuner than not in score shooting these days

95 proof, 80% Rye, 20% Barley, Old Overholt Monongahela Mash.
One hell of a tuner......

Yea, Hornady has to do two things in order to find that a tuner does work. They need to learn how to operate them and make a more accurate bullet. Until then I agree that a tuner is of no benefit to them.

From my observations they are pretty common In Short Range.

It seems there has always been a consorted effort by certain individules to prove that tuners do not work.

Many shooters who use tuners have grown tired of arguing about it.

Since the use of Tuners was legalized in NBRSA Benchrest, I never could understand the controversy. Those that choose to use a tuner do, those that choose not to use a tuner don’t.

Bingo! Always will be naysayers who never used one saying they don’t work or people with skewed ”test” to prove what they want. Use one or don’t. Your choice. I have made mine. lol

 

[LCazador]

They are being used now more than ever for both short and long range.

 

[Alex Wheeler]

I wouldnt say its changed much. I am cutting barrels everyday. I wouldnt say that I have noticed the popularity go up or down.

 

[LVLAaron]

I just want my guys to understand that the tuners are re-usable.

The controversy, if you want to call it that seemed to follow two considerations.
First, in the early days, there were a few shooters that thought you had to adjust during a match. While nobody seems to approach them this way these days the concerns were a. guys rising from the bench, thus disturbing neighbors against rules, and b. safety issues with anybody putting there hands near muzzle with bolts in, loaded, etc.
These days, better understanding, legal now in IBS which was later to the game, no doubt, lots of them on the line in IBS as well.

They also said charge weight and seating depth tuning did not improve accuracy. That was strike three for me, haven't watched their vids since.
