Default tunning my mini?

Hey guys i need some help. Well i got my mini set up right it turns out their was no leak i just had to reset the poppet. But if i get over 250 psi the leak kicks back in? Is this bad? I stil have great accuracy and good power (no chrono so i dont know specifics)

Also i got a scuba tank so i can do my own fills. But Its still about 2 1/2 hours away and 30 bucks in gas just to get their...so i need to make my mini more air efficent. I shot probably eh about 400 or so balls give or take 50. Well after shooting all of those my 68/4500 tank which was full. Was now on a tiny bit above 1k psi? Is this normal air consumption or is their still something up with my mini?

250 psi or 250 fps? The mini should be running no higher than 200 psi. Anything above that can cause leaks/damage

I hope you aren't adjusting the pressure of your mini over 200 PSI. Please clarify.

Turn the PSI back down to 200 or a hair under 200 and leave it be. Why are you adjusting your regulator pressure in the first place?

Well i bought the mini used but it was a steal.

Well the pressure was set at like 300 something and i read it was suppose to be under 200. So ive set it at the proper psi now and it shoots fine and all. It had a small leak i fixed by resetting the poppet.

Ok well ive got everything set right. Now back to what i was wanting to know.
I had a full 68/4500 tank and put around 350 or 450 rounds through it. The pressure in the tank went down to a little over 1000psi.

Now i was wanting to know if that about right as far as how many shots i can shoot with a 4500 tank. And if that is about the right amount of shots. How can i get more better air efficency?

Sorry about all the confusion

Reset the board to defaults and then see how many shots you get. If your PSI was jacked up, the previous owner likely changed other settings which could lead to your "issue".
