what kind of efficiency am i supposed to be getting out of a classic mag running a 68 4500 psi air tank? right now i am getting anywhere from 600-800 shots on it.
thanks for the help

That's perfectly normal.

my local shop owner claims to get 850 shots off of a 45 4500 psi tank on a classic valve mag. do you guys have any tips for raising mag efficiency?
thanks for the help

For best efficiency don't shoot over 280 fps. Use the shortest level 10 spring. Use an unported 11" barrel. I actually use a 12" with very small porting and get over 1100 shots on a 68-4500 and the small ports make it very quiet without sacrificing efficiency.

I went through the same line of thinking back in '92 or so. Then I realized that sometimes the most reliable markers aren't that efficient. I'll take reliablility over all.

I get around 1000 rounds off of a 70/4500 tank (tank only filled to 4000 psi) running at around 250-260 fps. I play indoor mostly, so I have to stay at the lower velocities.
