Guys .. sorry if my above post sounds like tests ....
Honestly I'm not trolling, but trying to keep it simple on concept to understand w/o getting overly technical.
As mentioned by a few others in the thread, is that WHAT the velocity does at pressures JUST UNDER where regulation starts happening is very telling as to the tune being BEFORE or AFTER or ON the bell curve Knee. This in turn can be telling on what the efficiency trend will likely be.
Think what a lot of folks don't understand is that JUST BECAUSE YOUR REGULATED .... it does not mien shot speed won't vary ? WHY FOR is due to regulator set point creep.
If your tune / set up is such that you have more than enough / required hammer strike energy ... If reg creeps up a tad your PCP is GOING TO SHOOT FASTER !! Where as if hammer strike currently is too little for the regs set point the same creep in reg set point change as above WILL SHOOT SLOWER !!
So if your regulator is super stable and shows little to no creep tendency and you never shoot below the reg set point ..... MOST would never see a problem worth worrying over !!
Sadly most regs do creep a bit and this is where a correct tune of regs pressure set point AND hammer strike setting to get at a specific speed with a specific weight projectile become important. Cold 1st shots are the same as the rest of the regulated shots !!!! And even as you leave regulation the speed hangs very close to the rest then slowly drops off.
