Umarex ZELOS , AND 500 CC BOTTLE

I Finally got the set up to work proper for the Zelos. I swear I had so much trouble , but now I did really good today. I have the round bottom aluminum bottle from Amazon $40 , and the C88 machining bottle adapter
from eBay for $50. I had to do this to be able to get some shot count from the reg being set at 2,500 to be able to shoot these Apolo 28 grain HP dish base slugs. It was filled to 3,625 psi , and I got 60 great shots , and when I stopped the bottle pressure was at 2,600. I shot 12 - 5 shot groups , and I drew the circles around a dime for the targets. I posted a pic of the slugs so you could see how clean these are.
I got 8 tins from Pyramid Air. I earned my bragging rights today. That straight line of 3 on the left was me sighting in on sharpie dots below. I used the dime to draw around. OV

How far were you shooting these groups? And what was the speed? Please and thank you 😁

Only15 yards , but if I had a decent bench .
I'm using a wobbly folding pick nic table.
A decent shooting rest. The Zelos don't fit this cheap rest. I most likely could get better groups. The speed was 830. No flyer's ever from these slugs.
