Discovery on bulk fill co2 question

Below is the string that I got using Crosman 14.2 gr HP pellets with CO2. Temperature outside was 72 degrees. This is after cutting 2.5 coils off the hammer spring to get more shots when using HPA, unfortunately I did not shoot a string using the stock spring and CO2. I am including the HPA string at the bottom just as an FYI. Hope this helps.

A few years ago I did some shooting with my Benjamin Katana on CO2; the valving is identical to the Discovery's. The temp was around 90 degrees; depending on the pellet I got 12 and 16 ft lbs on CO2 as compared to 22-25 on air. I was able to get around 60 shots per fill without doing anything like cooling the gun down. Some pellets (wadcutters and pointed) were a bit more accurate; JSB heavies and H&N Baracudas were still very accurate. Did a guest blog on it for Pyramyd Air.
