[QUOTE="Rob01, post: 2413974, member: 2157"] Tuners work pretty well for the most part. I use a Kinetic Security Solutions ATS tuner, actually two, on my match rifles and with factory ammo. I got the first one a little over a year and a half ago and brought it out and tuned different lots of ammo and you can see the shots come together as you adjust the tuner. Some lots of ammo more than others but they all got better. After tuning I took the one lot of ammo I was planning on using the match from my almost sea level up to the match in the higher elevation about 1000 feet and the day before the match they had an open range day and steel out to about 1000 yards. I had a piece of steel at 930 yards and had a spotter on glass and I shot three shots at it and the spotter said they were almost touching. So from there I wasn't worried that my only 100 yard tune at sea level would work farther out. This is 5 shots of factory ammo at 100 yards after tuning using a 6th bullet hole as the aiming point. [ATTACH type="full"]333256[/ATTACH] Here is a pic of a couple lots of ammo during tuning. Target 1 I used for something else so look at targets 2-7 for lot 537 and you can see them come together as I adjusted tuner. The lot 715 only required one adjustment.
