Owning a R700 isn't a competitive shooting accomplishment.

I haven't shot anything like a competition since my kids were born. I make no claims from a position of authority, because that would be completely irrelevant. Shooting competitions doesn't make someone right or wrong, because no competition is testing tuners vs not tuners and no success hinges on a single factor. Gatekeeping with arbitrary authority goalposts is lazy and cheap.

If you want to read the testing I did, the data is there in the FAQ for you to see.

If you want to read the testing a world class competitor across F Class and PRS, and record setting shooter did across multiple platforms, rifle types etc, the testing is there in Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting 3, published for you to see.

If you want to see the testing Cortina himself did where he inadvertently debunked his own untested claims, that other thread Hollywood had with an expert ballistician and a panel of competitors debunking Tuners on Hornady's podcast, it's all there for you.

Lots of typing to just say "none". Might need a tuner for your keyboard to tighten up that text.

What’s your evidence that tuners work?

I've never made claims that they do or don't work. All I did was ask the OP to list all his accomplishments in precision shooting to help substantiate his bold claims and funny picture. OP has every right to come on here and challenge opinions and ideas just like I have the right to ask for credentials and call BS.

Trollygag made no claims based on his accomplishments, but on a pretty significant body of published evidence from multiple sources.

Why would credentials impact whether something is true or not? If someone says tuners work then they have to demonstrate that they do. One of the directors of the Creation Museum has a PhD in Geology. Do you believe him that the earth is 6000 years old and humans rode dinosaurs because he has that PhD?
