No way, running a bottomline at 250 or less will experience shoot down. You can't put 4500 psi into a reg and get 250 psi out, it's over-regulated and the reg can't keep up that recharge rate. There's 4500 psi behind the reg and 250 in it. When you start shooting quickly, the air is taken out of the reg, and the other 4500psi is pushed into it, regulated, and held until sucked away again. The 250 psi, having less pressure, will go away quite quickly and the reg will start to starve. Double reg'ing is much better, and will result in less shoot down. With an inline you have 200psi sitting in it with a constant 500-800psi behind it, with 4500psi behind that. Your recharge rates are faster since the pressure is higher and has more energy. You also don't run the risk of reg spikes blowing your soli. Another thing, not all reg's are perfect. It may not get you 200 psi everytime from a bottomline, and your chrono will suffer from it. An inline reg will help to smooth out the jumps and dips that occur resulting in more ball-on-ball consistancy, and a much better chrono. If running a bottomline into a gas-through is better, why don't the pro's do it?

I use a timmy so the lpr protects my noid. In my nd the air is duel regualted. It is reged down to about 1000 ish psi and then it goes into the adjustable reg. Chronoing my gun i get a reading of 281,284,282,285 everytime i step up to the chrono.

So whats the argument? You're agreeing that dual reg'ing works....

It depends on the tank. Nitroduck was the first that I can recall who provided a dual regged tank. Smart Parts Maxflo's have also proven to be one of the most consistent tanks out there.
Shoot down is caused by the regulator in question not having a fast enough recharge rate. By adding another regulator after the adjustable tank regulator you are adding another possiblity of shoot down.
I would like to know exactly how many solenoids you personally have seen that were blown by a spike from a regulator and not from the individual just putting too much pressure into the gun. I am talking about "actually seen" and not "heard of." I agree that regulators are not perfect, but the spikes are typically well within the tolerances of quality solenoids.

4 in the last 6months, 8 in all.

i have angel air setup 68/45. it has been nothing but consistent and great.

45/45 armageddon on my a4, and a 68/3000 hyperflow 400 on my cocker
both work great think i would trade my geddon for a 68/45 LP tho i like the simplicty of a screw in

i have a 47/3k crossfire and it works...i'm hoping to go to a 45/45 crossfire when i get the money
