I zero a tiny touch high at 18m with CCI subsonic, it gives me 1040fps out of my (shitty old) JW15 which I believe is 22 inch. Even that 10fps loss over the box fps makes a small difference in...

Peter is his name, Sarvo was his username. He's one top bloke. I've bought boots and two different Thermals from him over the years. He stands by his sales.
