460 fps is a ridiculous velocity for any AEG, particularly one loaded with a V2 mechbox. Your mechbox won't survive very long at that velocity. Really, anything over 375-ish, and you should be using a reinforced mechbox anyway. And at that kind of velocity, BBs start behaving pretty erratically anyway. It becomes more about the ballistic properties of the lightweight spherical shape projectile than the platform it was launched from.

I think 3 things would help your accuracy problems. First, a stiffer hopup rubber is in order. At that kind of velocity, you need a hard rubber, not the soft stock hopup sleeve. Secondly, a 6.03mm tightbore barrel would be preferable, as it will stabilize the BB a lot better before it leaves the barrel. Just keep in mind that a tightbore will add another 20 fps or so to your velocity. Thirdly, use .25g BBs as a minimum, and preferably .28s or .3 to get the maximum stability.

Keep in mind that your gun is not field-legal anywhere in Canada, as the majority of fields will only allow 400 with an AEG, with some allowing 420. Some fields may allow 450-500, but by experienced snipers using bolt action or semi auto AEGs only. Your gun has serious potential to injure people, and personally, I wouldn't want anyone on a field where I'm playing with a gun anywhere near that hot.

My suggestion would be to downgrade to a spring of an M100-110 rating and get a tightbore barrel. That will make your gun field legal, increase the longevity of your mechbox, and probably help significantly with your accuracy problems.
