Disclaimer.  I can't explain why the gun was creeping up for this test, but later I found that the moderator actually increases the velocity about 0.625%  I can only speculate that the regulator was acting up.
Made a moderator for my FX Wildcat out of Aluminum and Carbon fiber which made the gun so quiet that the first time I shot it I thought the gun malfunctioned and didn't fire.  I was wrong.  Here's how the moderator seems to affect the muzzle velocity.  At the end I have some back to back shots of the sound level difference.  My camera must have trimmed the sound level down, but without the moderator you can hear the shot burst echoing long after the target impact.  I'll have to stand much farther away from the camera to get a more realistic audio comparison.  Also folks are saying that I need to shoot a lot more than 4 times to establish an average.  Several have noted that the gun seems to be creeping up in which I can't disagree.
