Since the humidity is about 100% o thought I'd check my new barrel/load and see how much if any the change in weather effected it.

I settled on 28.3 lt32 last test so I loaded 28.1 28.3 and 28.5.
28.3 was still best but not as good as the other day so I loaded 9 more at 28.3 and turned the tuner out 3 notches between them. First group turned 3 lines out came in and the next 3 are like the other day then the next 3 opened back up about like I started. So I should be able to get a good tune somewhere between 0 and 9 lines out on the tuner if the weather really goes haywire.

Lookin good Mr Big. Have you mapped your tuner so that you know which direction and how much to move it based on condition changes? Any insights there I'd love to hear.

This is all I've done so far. When I tuned the bbl it was 80ish and sunny with lower humidity , tuner was on 0 then and shot in zeros. Really humid I moved out on this target looks like 5-6 lines be good so I've got that much to go on.

I run an Ezell tuner so any moves are 1 mark equal to 1/32 or even 1/2 a mark. If I'm running a little hot, I'll move it out and vice versa. Still a little trial and error but not afraid to touch it even during record fire. Often, it's made the difference!

Ezell tuners require attention when installing. There are 3 different diameters the barrel must be turned and 2 thread pitches. Crazy His first ones were shipped with hand drawn schematic that caused confusion.
