Speed isn’t the only factor. I’ll use centerfire as an example because it’s easier to see the difference when we load ammo.
You can take rounds that all run 2950 fps, but have varying seating depths that will group differently. And thusly, would need different tuner settings. Or different bullets going the same speed.
Same principle applies to Rimfire.
that is simply , IMHO, not true.
the guys that insist rimfire bbl vibrations are exactly the same are incorrect.
whether you call it a “ stopped muzzle” or some other bullshit term, a great barrel.....once it’s set, you’re done.
far too many world class shooters using the absolute best rifles made never twist a tuner. In my own experience, my guns shoot all year ( 50 deg-90+ deg) everything from 1045fps to 1075 fps and everything in between.
CF different animal, and I shoot 6PPC for group and usually can tune with N133 or LT 32, so I think I know the difference.
i suspect the guys that insist On constantly twisting tuners don't have a decent Tune to begin with.
any time there is one these never ending tuner discussions I always fall back on a a simple example, as an IR50 shooter, how do you explain top flight sporters which, in effect, have a non adjustable tuner on barrel’s end. The good ones shoot lights out cold weather, hot weather, and everywhere in between.
2-3 smiths out there that, combined, have literally dozens of world records with their rifles set them and never touch them.
Lastly, tuners don’t solve thrown shots, etc. Good barrels/ammo don’t do that, marginal ones might, as well as bedding, ignition, scopes, and good, old fashion drivers error.
A tuner on a on a C+ barrel yields a C+ barrel, they refine a good barrel a little bit, if you have really good equipment, we’re talking baby steps here folks, maybe bringing you from, say, 92% to 95%-96% kind of deal.
