Well, I got my hands on 0.4g BBs and 0.43g BBs and happily went along and tested them. The power fell sharply, way too sharply. So I chronoed again with 0.36g and 0.20g and surprise surprise, the power fell to 1.15-1.20 joules (about 350-360 fps with 0.20g). I did shoot it some during the last two weeks, about 150-200 more rounds. Looks like the spring quality leaves a lot to be desired and it's settling pretty low. This also means that my previous testing might have been a bit wrong, if the spring is really that bad, I might have observed the spring slowly settling and not a serious under-voluming problem. Looks like I'll have to redo those series... meh.
