Cricket 2 Cheap Ammo Question

Hey guys,
For those of you that have a Cricket 2. I have a question. I've been using Crossman Premium Hollow Point. It's $6 a tin and it's pretty good with the Cricket at 50 yds. There is that occasional flyway but overall it's not bad. Anyway I wanted to ask what opinions are what what I should try and tune this too? It's a lighter pellet at 14.3g. .22 calibur My gun loves the JSB 18.1g pellets at around 870fps.

What should I start at with the Crossman pellets is there a general rule of thumb like the lighter the pellet go down a few fps to 840 and try that or should I go up to 900 and try that?

Trying to figure out a good starting point.
 
My Cricket II did OK with CPHPs. This is only 25 yards and 5-shot groups, but not too shabby. The gun was shooting them here at 895 fps.

I found another image where I played with the velocity a bit.
