After a few emails and phone calls discussing how to tame the cocking effort of the 430L I bought a .118" diameter spring from Vortek and said I wanted it cut and closed at 28 coils. For some reason it came wit 30 coils so I said what the heck and kept it and installed it in the 430L Since Tom was saying how he already had a kit for the 430L and I should buy it instead but with the kit putting out 13 fpe I felt it wouldn't accomplish what I wanted and so he sent me the 30 coil spring which by the way put out 12 fpe and eased the cocking experience but still not what I wanted.
So White Fang and I got together and hashed out that the 28 coil .118" wire spring should bring it down to around 10.5 -10 fpe with a tight top hat and guide which he would make for me and cut and close the spring.
I got the spring, guide and top hat today and it looked great and was a super tight fit.
Lube with Krytox and installed in the 430L I found I could cock it with my left arm with out any pain and ran 50 pellets thru it 20 of which was over a chrony. It came up with 730 fps for 10.0 fpe.
Now that is what I call right on target.
Thanks OC for a job well done.

White Fang is no longer with us. He shed his mortal coils a couple of weeks ago. RIP White Fang, you will be missed.
