Hello Everyone,
I have had my DREAMLINE for about 6 months now and decided to convert it from a Tube to a bottle. Before making the change I had the reg at about 100 bar shooting JSB 18s at about 860 FPS. After buying the 480 CC CF bottle and the bottle adapter I made the change. It was a fairly simple process to make the swap. The reg in the bottle adapter came at about 105/110 bar so I left it there. BUT I was shooting now at 770 FPS, 90 FPS SLOWER. I upped the reg to about 120 bar but still only got a 20 FPS increase. Even changing from the 177/22 to the 25/30 on the TP adjustment yielded only a 10 FPS increase.
everything stayed the same, the reg gauge is the same, the power plenum is the same and the hammer was not messed with prior to swapping out. I walked through my usual tuning process and I was only able to achieve 810-820 FPS max.
any ideas what happen and what I can do to fix it?
