Loker Tuner with tensioned nut system

I have really liked Loker's new tuners. With the adjustable nut you can preload how much pressure you want on the tuner threads. I set mine up with enough tension so you can turn the tuner by hand without upsetting the rifle in the bags. No wrenches, no pins, just remove the bolt from the rifle and reach up and turn. It's fast and it works!
Butch Fjoser wanted me to try a new lot of 133 at the best of the west. I changed during the middle of the HV 100. On the sighter I had about .3 of verticle. Reached up and turned the tuner 3 marks and shot flat, maybe about .150 of verticle. No problem tuning at all. When I got home I tested the 10109 lot against my 78804 lot. It took .3 grains more of the10 lot to get the same fps. From all the testing I have done with Darrel's tuner, that is just about what I thought I would find.
During the 300 yard warm up match I shot a .6 with about .3 of verticle. I thought that was to flat for what we would shooting later on. Reached up and dialed in about a inch worth of verticle. It is just amazing to me how repeatable tuners can be if you are willing to take the time and effort to learn how they respond to your inputs

Richard,
Was that the tuner you were using at the last Luther match?

Donald,

Darrel has several different weights of tuners. At Luther I was using a 6 oz tuner with a 6oz weight added on. Darrel has came out with a 12oz tuner for a LV contour that puts more weight past the crown. It seems to give a wider tune window. That was what I used at the best of the west. There are alot of options to make weight, light tuner, heavy tuner with fluted bbl. Give him a call.
BTW, Darrel was using a 12oz at Raton and did very well.

Richard,
Man, I can just barely make weight on a LV with a 4 oz tuner. I saw that your barrel was fluted, but does that take off that much weight? 12oz. WOW!! Have to look into that. I can see how it would broaden the tune window. How about a 4 oz hung about 12 inches in front of the muzzle?
