I sure would like to see that, too.

I know, I wonder the same thing, why Browning & Win discontinued the BOSS tuner brakes. & had 2- Browning A-Bolt ll's with the BOSS & my brother has a Win with it. We both absolutely love the BOSS tuner brakes. They not only did really well with felt recoil reduction
( for radials ) & being able to fine tune factory ammo to tack driver precision in multiple bullet weights is priceless. Why why why stop selling them or including them on their rifles.
Had one put on a 7-mag. The tuner brake. Works great! Recoil with 175 & 165 bullets, 243 or so. What I like is, you don't have to load a dozen different combinations. Just load 1, tune it, all done!

Yep, exactly. Whats not to love right. My Brownings were 7mm mag & 300 Wm.
Maybe because they are relatively new and alot of us were waiting for folks like Joe to publish great results! I think now....I'll try one!
...(too)
My buddy gave me an EC Tuner for Christmas…..
I'm hooked!

That weight is kinda important for the tuning part I believe. I'd be curious to see if a titanium version would work also.

To me, it's harmonics being tuned. I'm sure weight plays a part but length is what's being tuned. Heavier contour barrels have less distortion therefore easier to tune. At least that's what I see and seem to experience. My opinion.
I use them on Max heavy varmint contours and unturned blanks, target rifles, they work!

Interesting comparison
I use the Gentry muzzle breaks which are a radial brake with the holes slanted forward, and they greatly reduce the concussion on your head when shooting without ear plugs.
Those side discharge muzzle breaks are very effective, but they are ungodly loud, especially the ones that have the ports slanted toward the rear, directing gasses and noise to you.
RAS, the EC Tuner/Brake, and the Mike Ezel tuner are very effective in tuning and reducing recoil. A lot depends if you lay on the ground and shoot needing the side discharge ports.

Length? It's not making the barrel any longer just shifting the weight forward of the end of the brake so yes, technically making it longer. It's definitely in relation to weight. Would it work with a lower weight titanium version?? Eric cortina would probably know the answer.
Likewise…My EC Tuner has worked superbly on my Palma and Heavy Target Barrels.
Yes, the longer and smaller the barrel contour, the greater the barrel whip. Check out the short pencil barrel in this video.
If the barrel is longer, the barrel whip will become more evident. In other words, a 22" heavy contour will have less barrel whip (harmonics) and be easier to tune than 30" of the same contour, IMHO.
Check out this 50 BMG with a large contour; the barrel still flexes.
