Lou, Absolutely, there's nothing wrong with those settings. As long as you can achieve the results needed (accuracy, distance, fpe and/or shots per fill) then it's all good. In fact, It's always best to have the least amount of spring pre-load possible, this increases the overall spring life (longevity). See with a 7.9 it's easier to achieve the velocity and distance with relatively conservative settings. Go for broke with a 16.1, like I am, and your having to be a lot more aggressive; HS 4, ST .5, VP 5.5 @ 2700 psi = 910. Cheers. Steve
ps. Thanks for signing your last post, it's always nice to have first names
