Matt,,,,, what exactly do you mean when you say it "throws shots" ??? Are you saying you're getting flyers ????
As for fps vs. psi ..... I fill my Disco up to 2000 and will shoot it until it's down around 1000. On my rifle the "sweet spot" is from around 1800 psi to around 1300 psi. I don't know if you have a chronograph but if you don't do yourself a favor and get one. It's really the only way to accurately measure the performance of your rifle.
