RAW .357 owners with 130-160 FPE vs 90fpe versions, I have questions ?

[Shooting Targets]

So I have some questions about this version of the rifle. I have 88 FPE version. 

1. What is your power in FPE ? Speed ? 
2. How many shots are you getting ?
3. Accuracy over the 90 FPE version at longer distance ? I know less drop but any other comparison be nice.
4. If you have a 160FPE gun are you able to shoot over 100 yards accurate?
5. If you have both versions of the .357 raw. Do you see advantages with accuracy ?
Thanks, 

jay

Cant answer much about this ,but was kinda wondering the same.While I could speculate,I will be following this in hopes you get some to chime in. I did chat with a fella that has a100ft lb 357..think his rifle is doing 750fps with 80gr pellet,something real close to these numbers.
Cheers

I did a quick test right out of the box a while ago and my 357 regulated to 130ft/lbs did a 14 shot string and High was 858 with a JSB 81.02 but it is new so I need to shoot it some more and redo a 14 shot string and see what it will do, its to cold to do a good test string outside so I’m shooting from inside my home out to my target now and have 2 tins through it so I’m getting close to doing a Chrono test again. I was getting a real low fps 1st shot but now that has seemed to have gotten better due to the fact I’m not getting a low hit at 75 yards with the 1st shot now, it’s getting more constant hits at 75 yards, can’t wait till the snow is gone and the weather is above 60* so I can see what it will do at 100 yards..

Should add that was a 230 fill...

Out of the box, mine is shooting 859 average with JSB 81 gr 14 shots on the reg from 240 bar. June 2017 build.

I don't own the 90 fpe version but it did come with a different barrel than the 130 FPE version. I believe it was a Korean barrel for the 90 and it's my understanding the 130 is a tj enterprise.

if you have ChairGun or Strelock, you can mock up the three power levels and compare trajectory and ballistics. If you want to shoot .357 much over 130 yards, you would want to shoot swaged bullets instead of the available diabolo pellets (not many choices).
