Mine came pretty much the same way from factory, and shot count was slightly higher than yours. I have a 580cc bottle on now so that helps with the shot count. When you drop that reg pressure down you will definitely be breaking 100.

I have. The way the gun is now they are only at about 800fps. Shoot decent to about 75 yards then they fall apart on me. With the 700 barrel on I can get them to shoot pretty well out to 100 but I have to push the speeds up to 940+

My gun has port work done, so air flows with more velocity and less turbulence. I have older ports on mine. To my knowledge, I've squeezed about %95 of max efficiency out of them. The work netted a 50fps gain on the short 380mm barrel using 18gr pellets, and the factory tune. Same work netted 75fps on the 700mm barrel. Port is opened to .30" to create a bellomouth or venturi. Taking advantage of the largest tranfer port setting, and squeezing air/increasing it's velocity as it reduces to factory port diameter. Port 90 degree turn behind the projectile is elongated and radiused to increase flow, and reduce turbulance. Probe is cut to match. This is part of the reason my velocity #s are so high (while still maintaining efficiency). They would otherwise be very close to 900fps. The projectiles still shoot just as accurate, though I am aware at the higher speed are more affected by wind drift. However, the areas I hunt (hilly woods) have little to no wind. So, that has essentially no affect for me. Low hammer and port yields 16fpe, which is what I almost always shoot at when not hunting.
