Doug, are these findings from actual testing? I have shot quite a bit of CO2 and according to the gauge it usually hovered around 1100psi vs the 850 your giving . I understand that the am I at air temp will affect this. All my CO2 shooting was done indoors at close to 70*F .
Not sure I'm grasping this. I thought C02 turned from liquid to gas when it's exposed to air?

Air-CO2 mix would be a waste of time. You will immediately shoot off the 2000 psi air, and within a few shots, you will be shooting pure CO2 for that "incredible shot count". You can confirm that by looking at the pressure gauge. It will probably drop from 2000 psi to 850 psi within 10 shots, and stay at 850 for the rest of the string.

Typically the tube chills and pressure drops with reduced velocity. I will see if I can get a shot count on separate fuels
Why not just fit a 9oz CO2 tank and get a ton of shots..? My 850 .177 gets 800 fps/300 shots+... just had to fit a stronger hammer spring to prevent valve lock at 95 plus degrees ....
