Tuning Question
I started tuning my dm 13 the other day, and while I was reading the manual it said to start the dwell at ten and raise it until the bolt starts firing. So I did just that and while my dwell was at ten (the hpr and lpr are still stock mind you) the gun fired just fine. Then I put some paint in the hopper and started chrono-ing the gun. I started raising the dwell until I reached 295 +/- 3 fps(without adjusting the hpr or lpr). Now the dwell is set at 14. So my question is does that sound right to anyone everything I have been reading about dwell for dms is it should be around 18 to 24. It was extremely cold out when I was doing this (5 °F). I thought I would have a higher dwell with it being this cold or am I thinking backwards here. Any help would be appreciated.

honestly i would just set the dwell to 21 or 18 and tune the lpr from there. its a lot easier and you will get the smoothest results out of your dm.

I've had my DM12 since early September and have probably put close to 30 cases through it including events and practices. I have not touched my LPR/dwell. The only thing I've done is removed the bolt system for maintenance. Shoots like a beast.
