Gene, regarding your tuner: Have you found any issues with where the tuner is placed in relationship to the end of the barrel? Can it be 'too far back' from the muzzle to be effective?
Thanks in advance! -Al
Will this work the same for a 30BR or 30x47 the same as it does for a PPC?

Would an HBR size and weight barrel require a lighter or heavier tuner than, say an HV barrel, of the same length?
I'm suspect some folks have fitted tuners to HBR barrels by now but have not heard of one personally.
I've not used a behind the muzzle tuner, but I have made beyond the muzzle tuners that were the same weight as Gene's. Did it work? Sure, but it required the tuner be adjusted more often than a heavier tuner. That's why I settled on 5.5oz-6oz tuners.
Hal, Do you have a picture of your tuner? How far is the weight in front of the muzzle?
Thanks Al. Are you having success with it?
It just went on the gun this past Monday (12/15). This HBR taper barrel was .840 @ the muzzle. The NBRSA HBR taper is roughly .024 per inch, so the threads pick up at a point about 1.5-2" behind the muzzle on this barrel.
Winter is settling in pretty hard here...just came in from moving 4" of fresh stuff off the driveway and sidewalks. Temps are single digits and the high tomorrow will be -5 degrees. So no testing for a while. A warm beach in Mexico after Christmas is sounding pretty good to me right now. Maybe I can find a resort that as a rifle range nearby? Now that would be my kind of an 'all inclusive' deal.
Must be more to this than meets the eye.
