yeah i can't see why not but theres one other thing i forgot to mention.
paint!

what type of paint where you using? cheap/crappy paint won't be good at the chrono. needs to be decent quality paint. are you using a barrel kit aswell?

my mini was shooting amazing because i was using the above method plus FS paint and a techt ifit kit with the 0.682 insert i think it was.

in my opinion paint to barrel bore match is one of the best things you can do to your marker.

clockwise to increase the pressure.

so the tank is high pressure. my method should work perfect with your tank.

a paintball friend told me to do it this way WildWayz
Aye if you have stock bolt, don't use the reg to adjust pressure. If you have a BOSS / Lurker etc then yes, you can.

I have mine set to 140psi, 3.5ms dwell and back cap 1.5 turns out from all in. Shoots 275 if I underbore it (which Boss bolts work best doing it this way) :)

You're never gonna get massive consistancy with stock everything. I think the stock barrel is .691 or .693 which is most cases is too big and blows a lot of air past the ball, which creates inefficiency and inconsistancy. You really need a barrel kit to improve on them - so you can match the paint to bore better. Once you do that, the +/- 20fps will drop to +/- 5 or better. BUT knock your reg down to 180psi and do as Garideon suggested and the shot will be smoother and less kicky.
