So far, the Griffin ones look the best. Thanks.

Why don't they make solid (non-HP) slugs in .25 and .30 calibers? I found a few but the calibers are just a hair larger (.257 & .308) than I can use.

I love my little AEA HP SS .30 caliber. I like to tinker and once you learn to work on it and get it right, it's great. Much cheaper than the FX guns.

I'm looking to get a huma regulator for my AEA HP SS .30 cal. Can't find a single video on it. Want to know if it helps solve the problems with the semi auto?

I would take it apart again and check that all the seals are in place.

To tell the truth, I'm not 100% sure what the actual fpe is for mine. I don't have a chronograph. I'm going off the specifications posted at dealer websites for best guess. https://www.aeaprecisionairguns.com/products/hp-series-semiauto-ss This is the fps/fpe listed at a few sites. 670 fps/...

It's an AEA HP SS .30. Can probably get a bit more power by making it bolt action but without a longer barrel, it's stuck around 40ish fpe. As far as accuracy goes, this little thing is wicked.

LOL. 20-30 yards is what I hunt spruce hens at. I could take the longer shots but prefer to get up close.

This is not theoretical. I have 2 air guns that fire at different speeds. The .30 cal is much slower than the .25 cal which explains the .30 having less power. The question is simple. Would you rather hunt with a small light weight 40 fpe .30 or a larger heavier 49 fpe .25?

AEA HP SS .30 which has an 8 inch barrel. Also have a Hatsan Bullboss .25 which hits harder. Got them for small game hunting.

What is more important, FPE or larger caliber? I have a 30 caliber putting out 40 FPE. Also have a .25 caliber doing 49 FPE. Larger caliber creates wider wound channel but smaller caliber travels much faster and hits harder. I'm thinking the .25 would be better over all but I could be wrong.

Which are you most accurate with and more comfortable shooting/carrying? That's the one I would use. I have a Hatsan Bullboss .25 and an AEA HP SS .30 that are both around 40ish fpe. The Bullboss has a bit more power and range but I carry the AEA for small game because it's lighter and more...

LOL. Nope. 😁 My "mama" died 43 years ago. Just tired and cranky from work.

The fact that you hooked up a camera to do this tells me exactly the type of "hunter" you are. I hunt to eat, not show off. Been doing it with guns and bows for 50+ years now and have picked up a bit of experience. I'm an old fashion hunter, not a yuppie sportsman.
