Increase of FPS.... by pausing

I was reading through some of the older 853 posts and read that by
just pausing with the lever at the top before closing the cocking lever you could increase the FPS some.
I was just taking the lever up to the top and back down like cocking a Daisy Red Rider.
Before the pause technique it was measuring about 400 to 410 FPS.
After pausing at the top it now measures around 453 to 465 FPS.
I know all rifles are different but I was wondering if anyone else would get similar results with their 853.
So, I'm asking for those who have the ability, to cock the rifle with out a pause and then with a pause and
see if there's a significant increase in FPS.
Please post your results here.

It's ok to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
While practicing through my scope, I thought about the "cheek weld". My shooting improved drastically when I discovered it was talking about my face.

I don't have an x53 but I have had many 880's and 901's. It is important to open the cocking lever out to full extension until you hear a "fft" noise and close it smoothly and steadily. That ensures that it pulls in all the air it can. Rapid and careless pumping is hard on the gun and gives poor results.

Most all pumpers benefit from a pause at the top of the pump stroke.

That makes sense to allow the maximum amount of air into the chamber with the pause.
I'm very happy with the increase.
