Hello everyone,
OK, Mike / @manabeknives Sent me some information about the new AEA pellets and I ordered some in 22 cal and received them late yesterday. So first light this morning I started shooting a lot of paper targets and first at 10-Meters. Well that is a no-brainer ..... wow the AEA placed almost every POI cleanly within the Ring with only one fully breaking the line and on #6 I will take the blame for that.
Next up the 25-yard test and I only shot this one card so it is not a complete or fair test. I will shoot these pellets more over the next couple of days, but an early assessment on my part is I am not impressed so far.
Range: Outdoor 10-Meters and 25 - Yards
Rifle: Brocock Sniper XR .22 caliber
Scope: Vector Minotaur Gen2 12-60x60 MFL FFP
Pellets: AEA Center Punch 18.3gr
FPS:
FPE:
Wind: 0 to 5 mph

Hi Thomas
Thanks for "biting the pellet" and testing out a new brand.
So glad that you stretched out the yardage to 25! Really shows things can fall apart at distance.
Got a message from Pyramid that the MRD shallow and deep now in stock. I put in an order for the shallows..will post some cards when they arrive.
Thanks for the tesing Thomas

Took a little time out from sorting pellets for the Atomic 22cal and shot a couple targets to be sure my eye was still on. This pellet sorting is tedious but needs to be done for max consistency. These are shot with some of the newly sorted pellets — 5.56 head size. Both sub moa.

Ross! You still have it! 2 PERFECT cards! Awesome shooting sir! And, all your hard work sorting pays off each and every time!

Thats what i am talking about for groups, when i shoot short range and dont get that i am saddened,,,,,, needless to say most of those times i am bordering a severe depression.
Always get a shot of nostalgia opening my hard cases, CUZ i use old .22 tins for spare parts.
These suckers ( 5.52 mm ) flew excellent out of my Cyclone, well at least as far as the very short distances we shot back then over a decade ago.

No those are from 2012, a couple of tins actually lasted thru my lengthy pause from air gunning and until 2019 or so.
I have a new stash of 7 tins but they are the new tins of course, and even if i dont really shoot my old .22 Cyclone anymore.
But i figured " you have a .22 rifle ( even though i am not really supposed to CUZ the changed the law in 2013 ) so you better have some ammo for it too.
Both 15 and 18 grain worked fine in the old school ST barrel of the Cyclone and my friends Cutlass, so thats what we shot back then.

Hello @manabeknives
I still need to do a lot more testing at 25-yards before I can make a decision. Boy they sure do shoot 10-Meters good.

I believe I have some tins of the older orange/pink tins of JSB 15.89gr ....bought them from Joe B awhile back and them stored away. I either shoot 18gr or 13-14gr, haven't shot 16gr in a long time.

interesting target..never seen that one before..like it!
Your USFT is a shooter!! Always thought they were kinda weird looking, but love the beauty of it's accuracy!
Which barrel do you have on it?

It’s a Match barrel but not the exotic two groove type. Can’t remember who makes it. If I find out, I’ll let you know.
