I have an A5...egrip, flatline, dawg's bolt, qloader and car butt stock running CO2 by remote (temp was in the 60s)...with no leaks. I can not crono over 250...I was averaging the mid 40s. I turned out the velocity screw to the point that is was about to fall out with no increase.

What do I need to do to get the velocity up into the 280ish mark?

Take the butt stock off, pop the end-cap back in and see if that corrects it. If it does, then chances are, your carr-stock's guide-rod/spring hole is too deep and needs shimmed up. I'd also turn the remote all the way on, then turn it back 1/4 to 1/2 turn. The pin may be blocking the air flow.
