[QUOTE="dwinmeade, post: 1851429, member: 111253"] My tuning solution...I use the RAS Tuner system. I start by tighten down the brake on my barrel and twist/turn the Tuner sleeve clockwise until it stops. It comes with adhesive stickers with 1/64" spaced lines that attaches to the barrel while tuning and comes off when done. (These 'lines' give me an on going point of reference when tuning.) I pick a favorite load and start shooting in groups of two shots. After shooting 2 rounds, I move/turn the Tuner sleeve one line counter-clockwise and shoot 2 more rounds. My groups will either tighten up or get larger. As the groups tighten up, I am approaching a barrel harmonic "node". To fine tune a "node", I move the Tuner sleeve 1/2 line one way then the other until it's the best group at this "node". If the best group at this "node" is 1/2" MOA (let's say) and I want a 1/4" MOA group, I go to the next "node". Every 6-7 lines on the Tuner is another "node". Many times the best "node" may not be the first one...could be the second, third, etc. Based on a remark from JE CUSTOM, there are some rifle/ammo combinations that aren't compatible, no matter what you do. Rarely can you take a hunting rifle, add a RAS Tuner and get a Precision shooter. BUT...what you will get is the best shooter that the hunting rifle is capable of. If you have an interest, I've got some pictures of my rifles/tuners. Just drop me a text and I'll send them to. 312-617-4711 Don [/QUOTE]
