Vogel Green

4.50 in my Morini 162EI Short

4.495 in my Walter LP300

I've tested about five other pistols ... they all liked 4.495 Vogels ... only my current Morini had a noticeable smaller group with the 4.50's ... at least with that batch ...

In case Scott doesn't answer ... probably almost all of the Morini AP's, if not all of the Morini AP's had electronic triggers. The Morini 84E Free Pistol only comes with an electronic trigger ...

Probably almost all of the AP's were compressed air ...
