Welcome!
Just to give you a bit of insight on the Range & Consistency. My over all focus would be accuracy then range.
Here are a few things that came to mind when I was reading your intro.
First read this is is very helpful. Some of the stuff would be able to help you with Accuracy and Range

Next I was thinking that because you are using a hard bucking it is going to take some time to break in the rubber. Try doing some of the mods in the post above and then shot about 100-200 bb's to work the bucking in.
Also you might want to shim your hop up chamber.
All and all it sounds like you are having fun and that is the most important. BTW there are a ton off good mods and post on this website.
