Will Piatt Tune on the .25 Eagle Claw

Good evening, night, morning y'all!
Peeps who've had there eagle claws tuned by Mr Will, what numbers are you getting before and after?
FPE?
Pellets or slugs?
String count?
Full powered usable shots per fill?

Wish I was talking about the sumatra instead but they are discontinued (at least in the USA they are)and no where to be found for sale.

Bonus question, I'm also looking for recommendations for similar caliber hunting air rifles in .25 -->

I love traditional looking rifles, moddable, looking for minimum 60+/- FPE, good shot count, removable air cylinder, and under $800.
 
My .25 Sumatra had no problem getting 1/4" 5 shot groups at 50 yards with any pellets. I loved its' ability to be adjusted on the fly. Low power on 2-4, medium on 4-6, high power on 6-12. 
Well really it's high power on anything above 2 as my 52 .25 sends 20.14's at 700 & the Sumatra did that on setting 2.

In my opinion I agree that the older Sumatra's are better. Way better. That .25 sent 48 grain RBT slugs out at 945 on 12/13 depending on if you count bottomed out as 0 or 1. It wasn't even power tuned. 
If you want a steady shot count Will can do that and get at least 20 good shots. If you want all out power he can do that also. 
I don't mind shooting targets while tethered but my 1/4" 5 shot groups were not tethered. 
One thing I want you to know.
Only adjust the power wheel when the lever action is open.

Spinning that power wheel when lever action is closed can cause it to jam or discontinue working.


 
I have a Seneca Eagle Claw .25 that was tuned by Will Piatt. Have sling and extra magazine. Shoots Seneca 43.2 gr 886 FPS 75.31 FPE on average. JSB 33.95 959 FPS 69.34 FPE. AVS slugs 994 FPS 65.83 FPE 30 grain. Shoots the AVS 30 grain in .2503 and .254 the best. Pre Tune shot JSB 33.95 791 FPS 47.17 FPE. Will’s tune really cranked it up. Get around 12 good shots before dropping off. Are you interested?
 
Man I sure wish they were still making Sumatra’s and Shin sung Careers. The price was right, power phenomenal, able to be tuned on the fly, and the looks were aesthetically pleasing. I’m racking my brain for a .25 with a traditional look and 60+fpe but it looks like you’re SOL. Only thing that comes close is an Air Force condor/escape but they definitely don’t have the traditional look. There’s also AEA challengers in .25 that are capable of that power and have a traditional look BUT they are not in the same ball park of build quality as the Korean made guns. 
Im grateful that I was able to snag a pristine .22 Shinsung Career 707. I don’t know what the numbers were pre-Will Piatt but after his tune it was getting 74 fpe for 10 shots in .22 mind you. I just love the lever action. Will made it silky smooth. That gun is getting buried with me.
