Title: Fortitude regulator questions!!
Post by: mobilehomer on August 22, 2019, 10:19:01 PM

Bob, thanks for the reply on my string #2 post. There are no burrs in the tube. No hammer drag that I am aware of.
I do have a few questions. Could the regulator need more break in and settling? It only has about 150 shots at this setting. Should I play with the hammer preload a little more? Maybe change the reg a little? This is my first foray into the marvelous and mysterious world of regulation.
I am willing to learn and take instruction. My desire is 22-25 fpe with small SD. I am close, but want a little closer. Thanks, Ken

Let it settle in for a while.... I think you are very close, and with the excellent efficiency you could just as easily mess it up as improve it.... Unless you are shooting at well over 50 yards, your ES will not affect your groups size.... I figure a 2% ES is good enough for 100 yards, and a 4% for 50....
