Who tunes for power, small extreme spread and slug diameter based on group size? (Which is what we tend to customary do with big bore's.) Now, who also does harmonic tuning with the power wheel to shrink group size even more after all that previous work?
A member brought to my attention this YouTube video on group-tuning the Western Rattler 357 with slugs recently. Something I found interesting with the video by youTube'r Air Sniper-Song V (who may also be a member here) is that he describes tuning the 357 Rattler's accuracy and tightens the group size with single click adjustments on the power dial (after having found a good slug diameter based on the bore diameter and group size). This is harmonic tuning, and is just like we do with the FX Impact, Huben K1, and other similar small caliber airgun's with power adjustment dials/wheels.
That got me to thinking, I do not read about or see guy's harmonically tuning their Western's but we would likely benefit a lot more from it. Typically, we set the thing up with a desired power level with the tightest extreme spread and find the ideal slug and/or diameter, all for the tightest group size because theve typicallybeen a big bore until recently. But any airgun with a power adjuster wheel like the Western Rattler, Sidewinder, and Mordax and would benefit from this next step of enhanced tuning.
