Looks like it is performing the way you wanted! That's a great string from an unregulated gun.
great potential there at 40 ish fpe in .22 with the 30g BBT... about the trajectory of that 10g .177 slug you were tossing out at ~1000 fps.. butwind bucking power is double that of the 10g slug...when compared to a 10g AA pellet in a whole nother league, as is retained fpe...
almost got a 3 acre place bout 6 miles out of a town bot 100 mile north with this creek running the south border... went for bout 4000 more than I could go... only two neighbors both bout 3/8 of a mile away up and down canyon...https://www.washingtonwatertrust.org/projects/salmon-creek/I am still looking... may still find my 100 yard home range.. but for now still stuck in town...
Cool gun Eddie! Enjoy shooting it!
Ed -You mention the trigger...Have you done the spring swap ?1 - Remove the right side stock half.2 - Obtain a ball point pen spring. You may have to try a couple different ones.3 - Remove the stock trigger spring that controls the trigger return.4 - Trim the pen spring so it fits.5 - Install the pen spring.6 - Light oil on all sliding, and rotating parts7 - Replace, the stock halfIt'll feel like a new gun.And yeah, I shortened my Reign, and installed a different suppressor. Big difference.No change in accuracy, no change in point of impact with the cut barrel. No sight adjustment required.Mike
Looks like you are off to a great start with this journey. That is a nice and flat string across a broad unregulated pressure range. Amazing out of the box performance. Typically achieving unregulated performance such as this involves leaning on a relatively small transfer port with a heavy hammer. Finding the balance of improving the shot cycle without negatively impacting your current shot string should be a fun challenge. I always end up losing patience and adding a regulator, lol....Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses.

I'm planning to stuff the stock with foam to try to abate some of the vibration. The only thing I'm going to do is moly the hammer, hammer spring and spring guide(if there is one) to try an eliminate the two low fps shots I got.
Please remember to take pictures as you do these improvements for those of us technically challenged.
