Having watched a lot of YouTube videos and read a lot of threads on here about the ‘best’ way to increase speed I feel I need a sense check.
My M4 from factory (.25 cal Sniper) came with the reg set at 100 bar, the Macro set at 16, micro at around 2.8 (as best I can tell) and the valve looked around 5 (if there was a line for 5).
With JSB Hades it chrony’d at 780 fps (Garmin X1).
I’ve not played with the reg or macro just the micro and turned up to about 3.5 and was getting 930 fps or there abouts. Shot to shot SD was around 3 and spread was closer to 13 over 10 shot groups.
So, the question I have is: am I asking too much by just raising the micro to achieve these speeds (or higher) or should I be increasing reg pressure instead and then putting the macro on around 8 and adjusting from there?
I plan on bringing the valve back to just over 4 and then tweaking backwards once I’ve got the speed where I want it (about 20fps higher than end goal).
The pellet port is currently in use.
I’ve got a heap of Hades but would like to see if I can get some lighter weight slugs to shoot half decent without going down the slug liner so I think I need to get up to around 950fps or 980 fps.
Any thoughts?
Cheers.
