Are the newly released PG4 Steel HO the next step up in current Vortek products for the HW-30....or are the 'older' versions superior for speed etc?

Even hot rodded they are deadly accurate and a lot of fun. I've done a number of them and not one person has ever asked me to knock the power down a notch.That said there are better guns for pesting.Yes, Ron, hence my post above. How much FPE are you getting out of them?They usually start off around 8.2 and settle down to 8 after about 3 or 4k shots. Then they hover around 8 for another 10k shots or more. That's with 7.33 JSBs they make a tad less as pellet weights increase. For instance JSB 8.44s make about 7.7 fpe when the 7.33s are making an even 8 fpe. I recently bumped up my laminate Hw30 with a half coil longer than normal Vortek spring. It's making 8.5fpe and it still shoots nicely. The shot cycle is as quick as a staple gun. Still shoots single round hole 5 shot groups at ten yards with 7.33s. Still cocks nicely. I'd dare you to shoot it and not be impressed. This gun is fresh and it too will settle down in a few thousand shots. I'm guessing it will plateau a little over 8. Time will tell.
