    You will probably find a slightly higher muzzle energy with a heavier pellet, the 601's are generally used with RWS R10 for 10m target shooting, try it with them you might see 5.8-6 FtLb. JSB Exact (if you aren't paper punching) are the same weight approximately, again they may well nudge 6 FtLb but the gun was never designed to exceed the German "F" class of sub 7.5 Joule so you really can't expect that much more than you are already getting!
    BSA Super10 addict, other BSA's inc GoldstarSE, Original (Diana) Mod75's, Diana Mod5, HW80's, SAM 11K... All sorted!

    I was expecting it to hover somewhere around the 6ft/lb mark, just wondered if it was a little too low at 5.25, re the R10 pellets many thanks for that info was completely unaware of that. Will have a look through my pellet stock and see what I have that is 8.2gr equivalent, I know I have meisterkugeln but they are only 7gr

    Many thanks for the input
