Cossack, you are right on the cyclone with a 400gr bolt does right at 350FPS with 425gr it does around 340FPS. Basiclly the Parker carbon bolt is right at 300grs weight on my digital scale so it comes down to if you are using a 100gr or 125gr head. With they Cyclone I had better luck with compact st...

The neatest thing about it is the overall size the width is like 19" cocked and 21.5" uncocked. When you slide the back stock in the whole package is really small. The trigger is also Great like a fine tuned rifle trigger maybe 3 or 4 lbs no slack.
