457 / Limbsaver Tuner

[ffgats]

Saw one at Cabelas so out of curiosity bought one, for $15 why not. Installed shoot on the weekend.
Now both SK’s Std plus and Rifle match are printing an average of .9”, Max 5 shot group are 1.2” and min group .7”, did (5) five shots group for both ammo, did not have a chance to play around with the Deresonator placements tuning because of time constraints, by the next outing will try moving to the rear maybe another 1” from current. Nice thing about it both ammo shoot the same POI at 50 yards and 100 yards, although the Rifle Match shoot a consistent POI

What were the average groups before the rubber deresonator? Minimum and maximum, too?

It was averaging around 1.5” with both ammo combined, although the Rifle match was 1”, there was an instance that it shoots 0.6” but was not able to duplicate it. What I noticed with the tuner installed is that the POI is identical and doesn’t gave any flyers. Just an observation, will do more of this in the weekend coming up

What distance are these groups? I've also found the limbsaver can be helpful, but is no substitute for a proper tuner that extends past the muzzle. Another trick is to make a small bedding pad in the forestock with gasket making compound.

100 yards, the 50 yards were amazing, less than 0.5” and POi are the same for both ammo,
It only cost $15.00 so no big deal, waiting to try the Lapua Xact

My CZ455 American has a Limbsaver tuner and I do believe it is useful.
The rifle will shoot five-shot groups under one inch with Remington Eley Match.
Reshaping the firing pin showed greater results.
When asked what the tuner is, the easiest explanation is that it stops scratching the barrel and does not run when leaned against something where it might slide.

By no means its an endorsement of the Limbsaver, I’m sure $15.00 is affordable , on my case the flyers are gone, and happy with it,
