AEA .30 caliber 66 grain pellets!!!

Does anyone know anything about these? At 825 fps they would be at 100 FPE which is max for many competitions, especially EFT. The head shape looks more like the 45s than the 50.5s... BC may or may not be better than the 50.5, I'm sure we'll see soon. I ordered a couple of tins to test.

Sweet! Got a tin of these and a tin of the AEA 52.2gr slugs to try out of my G2 .30
 
Thanks for the heads up.I actually did not know that.
All you match shooters think back to last year. 50gr aea,came out sold out. Won matches. This year,watch 66 grain with pandas gonna shoot better in wind. Buy up,they'll be gone. Then you'll wish you had. Everything aea has produced has preformed so far. Maybe a dude here or there,but majority has done well. Only 5 tons hit. Could be a while before they hit again. I've had 50 grain on back order for 3 months now. Kind of knew that they'd hit once the season was over. This could very well be a repeat of last year. I'm only guessing,but that's an educated guess.lol.

Gerry, your Boss doesn't have the ass to shoot those... Not even close, unless you like 550 fps. :sneaky:
Well then, I guess I just bought YOU a tin of those pellets. I have to at least try a few for a good laugh, if nothing else.(Holdover 10 mildots @ 15 yards 🤪 :ROFLMAO:)
 
I ordered 50 grain today. 5 tons of aea ammo cleared customs. Stores should be stocked soon ,but how long it'll last don't know. The 30 caliber stuff sold out quickly when it worked really good.
Thanks for giving this update. I was able to order a couple tins of 50gr and 66gr. The AEA 45gr are the best pellet in my RW .30 out to 100 yards so I'll be curious to test these out too.

Mike,

It was a pleasure meeting you this past weekend. Looking forward to seeing you again, and chatting more. I’m going to get some of these to test in the EVOL as well

Great meeting another LDO also. I have some of the 66 on order. Getting the gun to 850 fps will require 105 fpe. Not sure the juice is worth the squeeze, unless the BC is way higher than the 50.5.
On that AAA did you have the 1:49 twist SubMOA?

No. I was shooting the 1:32. It really liked the 50’s. A little too much drift with the 45’s
