Is 750 FPS right for my .25 Dreamlite Compact?

I chronoed my Dreamlite Tact Compact and it shoots 750 fps with 25gr pellets and about 675 with 33gr.

Is that right or do I need to turn it up? (Please see my settings below)

I'd up the reg to 140-150. And adjust the hammer spring tensioner up. I think the gun has a 15" barrel. Which should be plenty for 880? Fps with 25gr.

I have a cheap Chinese pistol with 9" barrel that shoots over 700 fps with 25 gr. 🤷‍♂️

Could also be that the reg gauge is off. I'd run it down and see where it starts to drop (it should strart to drop pressure when the reservoir pressure gets near what it's set to.) looks like yours is set to 130, so between 130-140 reservoir pressure the reg should start to drop. And then equalize. Once reservoir is low enough. If it doesn't drop until reservoir hits 130 bar your reg gauge may be reading 10 bar high. 

You can put a tiny Allen key in this notch and turn clockwise to increase hammer tension

When UPPING the reg pressure!!! They SAY TO!!! turn UP TO!!! 1/4 turn then dry fire couple shots then go again UP TO!!! 1/4 turn then dry fire couple shots and so on. 

I would degass it to adjust it up. Thats just me though. I think it's going against the grain so to speak and may ruin the longevity of the regulator. If you are flipping the gun right after your video review anyway as you normally do then it won't matter to you anyways though and it's just on the buyer.
