Cliff shot great in some tough conditions! We'd like to thank James for a lot of hard work to get ARA started in Oak Ridge. I'll not try to mention everyone who helped in one way or another, but all are appreciated. Several have told me that Knoxville was a BR haven at one time, so it's...

Great Shooting ! Congratulations to Jeff Langley for another win and to James Carroll on the 2500! Jeff James Very Nice! Unofficial Range Record

Appreciate the forum Wilbur.

Mike I agree. I don't think clamping is the best way to go either. Also, with some clamp-on types, there's a cut just past the clamped section that extends through half the diameter which leaves the weighted portion less supported. Whether this has any effect on how the tuner behaves I cannot...

I prefer tuners that screw on, but what's the best adhesive to use with a clamp-on muzzle device to a CF barrel turned straight? Preferably something that will hold, but is also easy to remove from the tuner and barrel. I know a lot of RF shooters simply clamp the tuner without adhesive, but I...

Mike Ratigan had good results from N133 in his 22 PPC .100 short. He wrote that N130 was not grouping well, so he tried 133.

Jerry and Others What do you believe is the ideal weight for a CF tuner on an average BR rifle barrel, and what percentage of the weight needs to be movable or adjustable. (Let's assume that making weight is not an issue up to 13.5 pounds, while keeping the rifle balanced i.e. not muzzle heavy?)

Gene I don't agree that the findings invalidate everything. They show that the "in-tune" settings for your tuner were closer together than you originally found. They may even correlate with temperature changes in fewer degrees of change.

Gene I'm sure that someone who lives closer to you can use them. More will come along from this area..... Thanks for the generous offer.

I live in TN. Have a couple of friends who attend some of the big shoots, but that would be several months away - unless you attend the Shamrock.....

I am interested if any are left. Tony Carpenter

Jerry H How does the length (which changes due to temperature) of the tuner keep the rifle in tune? How does this work? What is being effected? I don't have a strong physics background. Very interesting! A "set it and forget it" CF tuner would be incredibly awesome.

I Jerry Is it the length of the tuner that's more important than the weight? Or does the increase in length create the same effect as an increase in weight would?

PO ACKLEY suggested that a .270 based on the .308 case would be an ideal cartridge. (The venerable .270 is pretty good as is for it's intended uses. It could be interesting to see how bullets and twists evolve).

Should work great.

The 1:12 twist barrel will limit the bullet weight at which a bullet will stabilize. Without referring to a known chart, my guess is 60 grain bullets may be close to maximum. What powders do you have on hand? The .223 is one of the most versatile cartridges there is so far as selection of...

If you love precision and accuracy, learning how to handload safely and properly will get you there faster. After cleaning it can take a few shots to foul the barrel to where it levels off. And yes, get some type of wind flags.

My wife and I have a streaming stick that allows programs to be watched on the TV. PBS has a free station. If you want to know more about ISIS, watch ISIS in Afghanistan on Frontline, November 17, 2015. You may be able to view it on the Internet through your computer. I started to quote what...

I've got a 22 BR on a Savage action. Very accurate but the bolt lift stinks. There are some who can decrease, but I could never bring myself to invest much in it. Tried a "bolt lift kit" which consists of a dimpled piece of metal in which a BB type bearing is placed. Could tell no noticeable...

When I'm wrong, I feel it's best to man up. I had said in the original post that the shipping would cost as much as the bushing. I went back and looked at some of the rates, and the shipping would be about a third to half the cost. Don't know if tax is added or not. So let's estimate $25 for...
