Anyone try AEA .25 cal heavy pellets (34gr) in their RAW? Mine shoot the JSB MK2 pretty well, but wondering if the AEA version is any better.
RAW Rapid AEA pellets in .25 cal RAW HM1000X question

My Mini loved the AEA 33.9s @ 935 - 940 fps. I shot that combo at PAC in 2023 and finished 19th out of 37 in the finals.

The HM1000x I just picked up and finished refurbishing was obviously tuned for FX Hybrid 26gr slugs (9 boxes came with the gun). It shoots them awesome at 45 yards.
But due to the lack of magazines (4 on order from QD_FOX) I haven't tried any other slugs or pellets.
I will be down that rabbit hole once the magazines arrive. I have H&N heavy slugs 42gr and 46gr, barracuda 31gr pellets, JTS 25.39GR and 33.8GR pellets.
Just for completeness sake maybe some AEA are needed too.

AEA pellets are excellent. I personally think they are cleaner looking pellets vs jsb. They are almost flawless. I cant think of the last time I tossed an aea pellet because I didn't like the way it looked. They shoot good at 940-950fps from my rti mora

All I shoot now is AEA's Pellets and slugs, they are boringly accurate, any misses are the guy holding its fault. Maverick .22, Maverick .25 and JSAR Raptor .25.

I agree. I am a newbie to PCP with a Black Ghost 25. AoA sent a tin of Exact King Heavy Diabolo MKll pellets with my Ghost and that is all I had used with the gun as it shot accurate enough for me and saw no reason to experiment. A few months ago an online retailer had a sale on AEA pellets so I bought three tins of the Diabolo Center Punch in 33.9 gr. Almost the same as the JSB at 33.95 gr.
First thing I noticed when I opened one of the tins was they looked nicer made than the $JSB pellets. I can see no difference in accuracy between the two brands.

Testing this morning the AEA 33.9 were the easy winner at 919FPS. Nothing else was even close to that consistency.

Nuts on, HM1000x shoots amazing.
Everything so far is dime to nickel size groups at 45 yards. Except slugs, not had much luck there.
Tested so far:
JTS 25.39gr
AEA 29.5gr
AEA 33.9GR
H&N Baracuda 30.86gr
Harpex 32.4gr (one flyer)
JSB King Heavy 33.95gr

Of the two AEA pellets, which shot better--29.5g or 33.9g? Which pellet over all others shot best at 45?

My rifle is modified. I removed the stock regulator and added the RAW 35cc plenum, Huben Power Dream Universal Regulator and a 1.1L bottle.
What works for me may not work for you. I was also looking for which pellet was the most consistent and accuracy was secondary. Given this is a HM1000x accuracy is a given.
The AEA were a toss up.
I will keep fiddling with the tune but will probably go with the 33.9 as I have a lot of JSB and the AEA.
The H&N and JTS looked just as good. I can't go down and measure as I had minor foot surgery. So no climbing around on the creek bank.
