The AEA and JTS pellets seem to like a little more speed than the traditional selection. Maybe a little hot at 970-980. I'd be curious to see a target shot at 940fps.
Here are targets I shot Tuesday with AEA 29.5g at 905-915fps.
Rifle was the “grandfather” of Joe’s Mora - an RTI Prophet Performance V1 with .25LR (1:32 twist) barrel.
I was actually testing the JTS 29.63g that were doing so well at 75.
I received the AEAs on Monday and because the weights were so close, I switched to them after an initial JTS Target at 75.
I was freaking ASTONISHED at my initial 75 yards results at 75 with the AEAs. First 10 shots were a single hole - even with me adjusting scope. Next target I adjusted scope after 1st shot was a bit low-left. Next 4 went into .4245” edge to edge hole. Next target at 75 all 10 went into single hole on the bullseye.
So I had to try 100. At 100 my target was in the woods so I could barely see it through the 45X Sightron. It was just going to be a sight in target at 100 as I just guessed 60 clicks up from 75. I aimed at target center cause I couldn’t see well enough for hold offs. I walked up and 10/10 were touching or inside the 1.5” ring with AEA 29.5g at 100 yards. I’d rather be lucky than good, lol.
I’d consider a Mora if I knew for sure that my 5 Prophet barrels would work well in it.
These AEA 29.5s seem darn consistent.
