Well big thanks to @Aoraki who scored me a brick of cci gamepoints and @Phil_H for giving me some 30gn vmax to try as well.
Spent the afternoon at the range with the intent to check drop on paper but it was 2 damn windy, I managed to test the vmax and cci at 50 yards between gusts and it shoots pretty much the same although the max shoots a little higher I'm guessing due to the velocity.
They both print equally good groups.
Here is a sample group of 5 shots at 50 yards.

Warning if tacticool offends you look away now
Few more mods to the accelerator.
New low mount 45degree piccatinny mount so I can mount the torch lower instead of above the scope.
New lower front mount piccatinny and vertical fore grip.
I know it looks tacticool but both these mods also make the rifle much nicer to point when shouldered standing.
The vertical foregrip especially helps with supporting the front whilst standing.
I would have mounted the torch under lithe front if it wasn't for the vertical fore grip.
I have always found the torch mounted above the scope to be a bit of a pain when shooting bunnies out the window of the truck so hopefully this lower side mount helps with that too, if not I'll have to try something else.

You putting a can on the end? Then it really will be tactikool
I cut the bar between the pistol grip off mine had to brace it at the top
brace it with what and how ?
also curious as to why you removed the bar it doesn't seem to get in the way to me and I have big sasquatch hands
just noticed you have your scope a lot lower than me, I found it really awkward with the scope in lower mounts to get a good cheek weld that resulted in a half decent eye relief how do you find it with the scope mounted that low ?
did you shorten the barrel on yours or is that a semi over barrel suppressor ?
sorry lots of questions

Mate that is very cool. Agree re the torch mounting . Never liked them hanging off the scope or above the barrel particularly with a stainless barrel as I found the light wash reflection in the scope ruins the scope picture. And I also like the foregrip. I had the same one on my evil rifle and mounted the torch in a 45 degree mount on a rail on the side of the handguard hanging down and managed to get it in the perfect spot so I could turn the torch on and off with my thumb ( lenser 7.2 torch with button on end cap) while holding the rifle in shooting position.
Nice rifle @dannyb.
born to hunt - forced to work
it's getting there.....I have a tail mounted remote switch which attaches to the stock where ever I decide to mount it ? haven't decided on that yet will need to see what works may even have it on the vertical fore grip. waiting to try the torch set up at night time to see if I get any of that horrible light wash you mention with the torch mounted where it is.
to be fair there are options there too, I could wrap the barrell in camo tape or similar temporarily until the over barrel suppressor is done, the suppressor with a neoprene sleeve fitted may in itself may solve that issue anyway

put a bar from the picattiny rail to the top of the stock just screwed it in will tidy it up at some stage am lefthanded got in the way of my arm have no problems with the scope its an over barrel suppressor came off my confiscated steyr aug
On a side note tested the torch mount out last night and no light wash off the barrel so that's a bonus
#DANNYCENT
no barrel was already threaded when I got it dont know if it had been shortened dont think so
