I jsut set my gun, and my presure is jsut under 300. But i have a question. If i put the heaviest main body spring in, wouldnt it allow me to shoot at a lower psi? The way i figure, if the bolt moves faster because the spring is heavier, then wouldnt i not need as much pressure to make the ball go 300psi? Its jsut a htought, it probably makes no sense, but hey, o well. Cna u explain this whole concept to me, so i can figure it all out? Thanks a lot

the object of LP is to get as much air to pass as fast as possible at the loest pressure......if you put a heavier striker spring in..you let the valve stay open longer(dwell) wich will cause a drop in velocity....you don't want that you want it to stay open as short as possible..but passing as much air as you can...(volume)...

Check out this site it explains it better than I can....
