Ok so how would I know when I actually off the regulator? I do have a Chronograph to test. Also, what is the common regulator pressure for a .22 pcp
Off Regulator...? How do you know? Regulator pressure?

If you fill with a bottle (or hand pump), fill gun, close valve and let the fill assembly charged (don't bleed). Turn your hammer spring in to "over strike" so that you will know exactly when it comes off. Shoot over the chrony noting the speed and the pressure. When you get a drop in FPS you will know when the gun is off regulation.
Exampe
3000 - 900
2950 - 901
2900 - 900
2850 - 905
2800 - 900
2750 - 903
2700 - 875
2650 - 850
With the above string you would see the reg is set to about 2750.

x2 on what BTB said. When your hammer strike is well adjusted, the setpoint will be masked because you will get some number of shots of consistent velocity after the pressure falls below the setpoint. By deliberately giving it too much hammer strike, the velocity will begin to fall as soon as the pressure falls below the setpoint. Often times you’ll even be able to tell just by how it sounds…hmm, that last one sounded a little different.

fill your rifle.... shoot it through a chronograph..... it will show you the following string for example: 900, 902, 906. 901. 899, 902, 902, 903, 902, 901.... and when you see the speed drop significantly... in this case... from 902 to 887, 871, 860..... in that exact moment, your reg is OFF
