Today I machined off the rear part of the valve at the seat.... Here is the 2-piece valve, ready to install....

The volume between the pieces is 11.9 cc, but by the time I subtract the poppet, spring and spring seat (both parts), it drops to 10.8 cc.... The check valve and spring fill the space in the front section of the valve, so essentially that part of the valve is solid ahead of the rear O-ring.... Here is a chart showing the velocity and pressure vs. the number of pumps....

The pump is a bit more efficient than the version with the double cone that I used with the 6.7 cc valve.... I reached about 1630 psi at 32 pumps filling this 10.8 cc valve.... That resulted in a velocity of 904 fps with the 15.9 gr. pellets (28.9 FPE)…. I tested it at that number of pumps with a couple of heavier pellets.... The 18.1 gr. Heavies hit 870 fps (30.4 FPE) and the 25.4 gr. Monsters reached 770 fps (33.4 FPE)…. I was pretty happy with those results.... The SSG Gap was set at 1 turn to make sure the power was maxed out.... Using this adjustable FTP pump to fill a stock 4.2 cc valve would result in 1600 psi in just 12 pumps....

I then decided to use just 24 pumps (about 1340 psi), with the 18.1 gr. pellets, and start increasing the SSG gap to conserve more air and see where I could get 2 equal shots, and what the power would be.... Here are those results....

There are some important things to see on that chart.... I can increase the SSG gap to 5 turns before the velocity of the 1st shot starts to decrease.... and adjusted like that there is enough air retained (about 950 psi) for a 2nd shot of over 700 fps and (about 450 psi) for a 3rd shot of over 500 fps.... At 6.5 turns of gap I get two equal shots of 740 fps (22 FPE), and at 7 turns all 3 shots get fairly close together, giving a 3-shot string of 692, 745 and 650 fps.... Unfortunately that is about a 13% ES, which isn't close enough.... so a 3-shot string doesn't seen to be within reach, at least not at over 20 FPE....
The two equal shots at 22 FPE was a bit more than I needed, so I reduced the initial fill to 22 pumps, which is about 1250 psi.... I found the perfect adjustment for the SSG at 7 turns of gap (1/2"), which allows me to shoot a single shot and pump 6 times to refill, or two equal shots and pump 13 times to get back to 1250 psi.... If I needed a 3rd shot for a Coup de Gras, there is enough air for a 600 fps shot remaining after the first two shots.... Here is a sample, with a mixture of single and double shots....

To say I am pleased with these results would be an understatement.... Not only did I achieve my goal of 2 equal shots, but I actually got 21.2 FPE at 1250 psi.... The gun is not too difficult to pump at that pressure, and it is a lot easier on all the components than 1500 psi would be.... As a retained air pumper, I can shoot continuously at 21 FPE with just 6 pumps to refill between shots....
