I prefer the feel of the Wolff 18.5# Variable Power spring, though I can't tell a difference in function between a standard 16# and the 18.5# variable. At $7/spring, it's worth experimenting and picking what you like. I don't have any issues with loads from 200gr LSWC/5.2 W231 all the way to 225-230gr lead bullets/9.8gr HS-6 (not quite +P, but just under 1000fps), even with a shok-buff. It just keeps feeding and ejecting as though it knows what it's supposed to do. :smile:
The variable spring is supposed to offset the higher peak spring rate, if I understand Wolff's description, so battering on the return stroke shouldn't be an issue (I hope!).
