To be perfectly honest, if your maximum range is NOT equal to your effective range, it's because you're doing something wrong. The majority of the time, people are using BBs that are too light.

If my rifle can push a BB OUT to 320ft, then I can HIT something at 320ft.
It's only certain weather conditions that are going to limit the effective range; inconsistent wind gusts, vortexes, sudden wind breaks, cold weather, rain, and to a small extent crosswinds. But countering a consistent crosswind is very easy.
I've single-shot many a person on the first try at the absolute limit of my range. It doesn't happen particularly often, but as long as I can predict the path of the BB to the target, there's no reason why my gun shouldn't be able to hit it.

Piece of crap snow wolf M24
cylinder frankly doesn't matter as long as it seals. A stock action army, JG, marui, top end PDI cylinder will all shoot the same if they all compress the same.
TDC modded PDI chamber, wouldn't recommend it; stock design sucks, needed lots of modding for Rhop and TDC.
PDI 6.01 480ish mm, need the bore and length for the muzzle energy. APS2 cylinders are real narrow.
R hop
2.3j on .43s
Longest confirmed shot is a nice round 100m on google earth, whatever that translates to in real numbers
