Not sure if this goes for all regs but at least for regs with gauges. Having a gauge for your reg pressure is a blessing and a curse trust me lol. Find myself always checking it, "Did it creep?".
I've noticed with my Cobra reg that after I adjust it, it will take maybe 100 shots for the reg to "settle" and not creep just a little. Say I adjust it now from 2100 up to 2300psi it may creep to 2400psi over night (which to me is no big deal as 1 shot clears that up). But after a good number of shots the reg pressure stays rock steady or seems to so far. Last week when I added the cobra valve I adjusted my reg and thought by adjusting it, it made the reg creep but this weekend it has been solid right at 2100psi where I set it with no creeping. Back to perfect, I love it! ;)
Not sure if turning the adjustment screw also turns the reg piston so it takes some cycling until it "builds" itself a nice seat to seal up good.
All regs I hear take time to settle. Reg pressure gauge... A blessing and a curse! 8)

Yup, reposition the seats sealing surface & established pattern it may indeed take a few cycles to Re-establish a good seal.

Thanks for the comment Scott. It's good to know that it is normal and I won't worry about it the next time I adjust the reg.
Thinking about taking it up to 2400 to see how fast this 12" .25 barrel will launch the kings (not worrying about noise or efficiency of course). ;) At 2100 (per gauge) it'll shoot 830fps.
