AEA Branded Pellets?

[Perle]

I have the same 2

Visually the skirt waists are different

I have a scale and calipers I can also check a sample as well tomorrow.

I also have both. And yes, the waists between the skirt and the head are different. AEA pellets have a more pronounced, taller waist. JTS and AEA pellets of similar stated weights do not come from the same die. No idea who is making AEA pellets, but they are visually different from JTS at the waist.

 

[Perle]

on the .22s both aea and jts weigh the same ...18.3

head size does seem the same as well however i didnt get 5.52
I’m not sure I’m measuring head size correctly.

So Aea pellets are a mystery.

How is this possible in todays insta information world.
Now I must know the answer to this mystery.

Here are 25.4’s AEA on right and JTS on the left. I did not measure them, but visually they appear to be the same.

Maybe its My eyes, or the angle of the picture, But the one on the right look as though the Skirt is on a sharper angle? But My Eyes are 67 1/2 years old. lol

You can see the difference in the waist on the picture posted by @Scotty1 The one on the right has a taller, better defined waist.

i have them as well and there is a slight differnece in the skirt waist. i concur with Chief and Kodiak

edit :i have the aea and jts in .25 cal 25.3x thats what i meant above

 

[Scotty1]

I’ll take some actual measurements when I get back out to my garage later.

Well that goes to show me weights and measurements aren't everything . Thanks for pointing out the waists they are definitely different in the .22 18.1gr . I have all the other wights in .22 but haven't taken a close enough look at those yet either. But I am 99% sure the .177 10.3s ( which I can not stop shooting) are exactly the same. Enough babbling here are some pics .22 JTS on the left . Waist is different and it looks like the AEA may have a slightly thicker skirt.

And .177 10.3 JTS on the left

My example pair measured almost identically, difference was small enough to possibly be user error, or individual differences.

But they look different. They have a different looking waist. They can't be made from the same die or they would look identical.

Aea pellets .. Made somewhere on planet earth.

I’m not suggesting that they are from the same die, just that they are more or less the same, and quick measurements agree. Just a slight angle of my phone could make them appear more different than they are.

Says who? I heard they’re made by JSB in China …

 

[Perle]

Can you site a source ? It’s just bizzare

I’m only kidding! I do however believe that they are made in China by whoever makes JTS.

Hmm... I guess no pellet competition on this planet then. I'll be looking for those imported pellets Made in Mars or Jupiter. Hopefully will get some in the stores soon!
