I know a reg takes time to settle after adjusting it. But I went up to 126 bar on my second reg, and today I checked to see where it’s at…and it has settled down to 118-119 bar! Which is way more than I’m used to; usually my other FX rifles would settle back 2 bar at most. On top of that, my first reg jumped up a little from 155 bar to 157-158 bar.

Explanations?
 
It’s not uncommon for it to take several shooting sessions over a couple days for me to get my reg to settle where I need it to. But that’s only on my two slug Impacts. With my pellet Impact I don’t concern myself if it settles a couple bar off. Should we lose sleep over a couple bar? Maybe not, but it’s a side effect of DGS. Digital gauge syndrome.

Last line above,
I was going to say, don't put a digital gauge on the regulator side if you have pressure change concerns now. It'll drive you nuts until you remember how the gauge works !
I installed a digital gauge on a couple of my guns on the regulator side, I still need to remind myself that the gauge reads in single digits (xxx), so a 100 bar set today, and tomorrow the gauge says 96.8 bar...no big deal. That's only a 46.4 bar change !
Means nothing .
