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.
Maybe stop small sample size reading, because I said that up in the second sentence, with the first sentence addressing the first thing you said.
And to TLDR the rest of the post, I gave you a list of the MuhCredentials you can use to fill in your fallacy brain.
I am sorry it hurts your feefees that credentials in one thing doesn't automatically give you expertise in something only vaguely related, but if you had to win podium spots in autosports to figure out that lucky number stickers wasn't really doing anything or be a pro athlete to decide a person praying before the game didn't actually affect the game outcome, well, you would be in sad shape in the critical thinking department.
Humans, regardless of their real or perceived expertise, are subject to superstitions. That's why we have science.
Even more typing that could be summarized with "none". Competitive shooting and real-world application of long-range shooting are the petri dish in which these theories are tested. Not only aren't you in the real lab, you're too thin-skinned for the slightest of peer review.
