Part 2 of this is tacked onto part 1. I thought it best to start a new thread for part 3.
A couple of things before we begin;
1. Most of the tuners in use today are cylindrical and utilize one or more pinch bolts to lock them in place. Adjusting them can be time consuming and frustrating and many shooters are reluctant to move them once locked in place. This is unfortunate because the biggest advantage of a tuner is to be able to vary the frequency of the barrel to compensate for changes in atmospheric conditions. If you do not move it, the tuner serves only as a counterweight. If you can make fine adjustments, quickly and easily using a reference mark, you can fine tune the barrel to the current condition.
Big advantage!
2. Many of you are concerned about how to accurately determine density altitude. Don't worry about it, you can take full advantage of your tuner with no knowledge whatsoever of density altitude by using the simple tuning procedure described in part 2.
Once the benchmark for the day has been established, and density altitude has been determined, you can accurately predict, with a simple formula, what the proper tuner setting will be before going to the firing line. This saves both time and wear and tear on your barrel, but if you are willing to sacrifice two or three extra sighters each time you go to the line, you can forget about density altitude. How 'bout that? Huh?
The Beggs Tuner is the simplest thing in the world and once you master the use of it, you will slap your forehead and say, "I can't believe it is that simple; I wish I was the only one that knew about this."
Review these three parts and we will have a question and answer session.
Later,
