Thinking of getting LVL 10. How many shots will I lose?

[68Classic]

Well, I dont really have a problem with chopping, but I play in the cold weather and of course paint will break. Now my problem is I have a 47ci 3000psi Nitro Duck tank. I get about 500 shots off of it. Since the LVL 10 uses more air then the regular LVL 7 bolt, how many shots will I lose?

IMO, the gain of no-chopping and lowered recoil is worth the 3-5% drop in efficiency.

I went from around 800-850 from a 68/3k flatline to about 700-750

I dont even cary more then 700 on the field anyway so it doesn't bother me much.

If you use the same spring, you shouldn't lose any shots. If you go to a stiffer spring, then you will suffer a bit of efficiency loss.

I personally feel that I lose more shots due to a chop with the level 7 and subsequent inaccuracy than I do to inefficiencies caused by the level 10.
