AEA Center Punch .177 Caliber Pellets – 8.18 Grain Premium Airgun Ammunition
The AEA Center Punch .177 caliber pellets represent the pinnacle of precision airgun ammunition engineering. Weighing in at 8.18 grains, these meticulously crafted pellets deliver exceptional accuracy and consistent performance for both competitive target shooting and precision plinking.
Superior Design & Performance
These premium .177 (4.5mm) pellets feature AEA’s innovative Center Punch design, engineered specifically to maximize energy transfer and create clean, precise holes in paper targets. The 8.18-grain weight strikes the perfect balance between velocity and stability, making them ideal for mid to high-powered air rifles while maintaining excellent trajectory characteristics at various distances.
Key Features & Benefits
Precision Manufacturing: Each pellet undergoes strict quality control measures, ensuring consistent weight distribution and dimensional accuracy. This attention to detail translates directly into tighter groupings and predictable shot placement.
Optimal Weight Class: At 8.18 grains, these pellets offer superior ballistic coefficient compared to lighter alternatives, resulting in better wind resistance and flatter trajectories at extended ranges. This makes them particularly effective for outdoor shooting where environmental factors come into play.
Versatile Application: Whether you’re punching paper at 10 meters or reaching out to 50 yards, the AEA Center Punch pellets maintain their stability and accuracy. They’re equally suited for:
- Competition target shooting
- Precision training
- Backyard plinking
- Small pest control
Technical Specifications
- Caliber: .177 (4.5mm)
- Weight: 8.18 grains (0.53 grams)
- Head Type: Wadcutter
- Material: Premium lead alloy
- Quantity: Available in tins 500 count
Compatibility & Recommendations
The AEA Center Punch pellets perform exceptionally well in air rifles producing 12-30 ft/lbs of muzzle energy. They’re particularly well-suited for:
- Spring-piston air rifles
- Gas ram systems
- Pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) rifles
- CO2 powered rifles with adequate power
For optimal performance, we recommend using these pellets in rifles with a minimum muzzle velocity of 600 fps and a maximum of 950 fps to maintain stability and accuracy.
Why Choose AEA Center Punch Pellets?
As experienced shooters ourselves at BinTac Airguns, we understand that consistency is key to accuracy. The AEA Center Punch pellets deliver that consistency shot after shot. The uniform weight distribution and precise manufacturing tolerances mean you spend less time adjusting for pellet variations and more time focusing on your shooting fundamentals.
The 8.18-grain weight is particularly advantageous for shooters looking to extend their effective range without sacrificing accuracy. The additional mass compared to standard 7.9-grain pellets provides better resistance to crosswinds while still maintaining sufficient velocity for flat trajectories.
Storage & Care
To maintain optimal performance, store your AEA Center Punch pellets in a cool, dry environment. The pellets come in a sealed tin that protects them from oxidation and maintains their pristine condition until you’re ready to shoot.
