AEA Branded Pellets?

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.

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.

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