I just bought a new PMI carbon fiber tank (NITRO) and the sales rep swore it was preset at 850 PSI. I have never gone over 800 PSI and I am wondering if a higer pressure will cause any problems. What do most of you guys run your setup at? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
my tank is 850 and it works just fine

Do you have a AIR valve or a Retro valve?
850psi will work fine for either one but you will have a fairly strong kick-back with that pressure going into a Retro valve. Personaly I like the amount of kick-back I get with 850psi input.

if you have an RT you will not be able to mess with you trigger reacting,but it should be fairly reactive at 850 I run at 825 and it is perfict so a second stage reg that will cost 80 dollars is not worth 25 psi

I have a flatline connected to a retrovalve at 850 psi. Works great, trigger returns with good amount of force, but does not run away or fire unintentially. I see no problem with a preset 850 psi tank.
Most tanks are preset at 85. 850 is fine for a mag, due to the automag having a built in reg. This means the input pressure doesn't matter much, as long as it is about 600 or so. I belive it is supposed to take up to 3000 psi input, but I wouldn't try that :)
