30BR + Tuner = Good Stuff
Yes, here are two. The top one is on Hal Drake's heavy gun. It is his own design. Hal won the 100/200 yard IBS Score Nationals as well as the Group Hog Roast HV with it.
The second picture is on one of Julia's 30BRs. This is a Gene Beggs tuner that Jim Borden installed for her.

I have been using the Beggs tuner on both my 30GR and 30BR, and I love it. Just shot a 25X at 100 last Saturday and finished 4 th at the IBS Score Nationals.
I go to the matches all pre loaded and all I have to do to stay in tune is watch the density altitude and change the tuner as the DA changes. I have found that using a powder like H4198 the adjustments are quite linear, but on my 6PPC with 133, forget it. It seems like the 133 is also humidity sensative and following a linear graph does not always work. I make a chart for each combination of barrel, powder, powder weight, and bullet versus density altitude. I adjust the tuner each time I go to the bench if the DA has changed.
Hope this is helpful,
Larry

Sure
I have one of my tuners on my 30PPC. Works the same as when the Rifle had a 6PPC barrel attached........jackie

30BR & Beggs Tuner
Larry,
If you don't mind, would you share your 30BR info with us? For example; when what changes to what, what do you do?

Adrian,
I have marks around the outside of my tuner just like a clock face. As an example, if the DA goes up from 1200 to 1500, I just look on my chart that I have all made up based on my practice in varying conditions, and I turn the tuner the appropriate amount and direction, in this case, about one hour on the clock position.
I have found that when making my chart, usually about 3 reference points on the chart will be all that is needed to get a linear line. You must be careful with your load so that you are not on the verge of an overly hot load that will "explode" if the temp gets to a certain point. No tuner will compensate for that.
Gene Beggs is much better at explaining this than I am. He has gone over this at length in some of his recent posts. You may want to look them up also.
