AEA HP SS Max .45 Caliber Mag Fed Big Bore Airgun-Could this be your next hog & coyote hunting rig?

We received the AEA SS Max from our friends at The Pellet Shop for testing about four months ago. Since that time we have carried out a series of tests to try and determine how to best set up and use this powerful air rifle, and to figure out just exactly where it fits into our airgun hunting and pesting arsenal.

In this video we run through the discovery process and attempt to outline the tasks you'll need to take on in order to make the gun work for your shooting situation. The first is how do you want to shoot. Do you want one max power shot followed by a series of shots that fall off or do you want a full magazine (and maybe more) with a consistent point of impact?

THIS IS NOT A PEST CONTROL VIDEO...
We wanted it to be. I shipped the rifle to Florida and spent two days out in the bugs, snakes, armadillos, raccoons, mosquitos and spiders waiting for a hog to come by, but you can't blame either me or the AEA SS HP Max for not having some sweet hog hunting video, the hogs were just not in the part of the ranch where we were. Hopefully this opportunity will present itself again!

The moderator used in this review, and the one we recommend, is the DonnyFL Great Kami in .45/50 caliber. It's our opinion that "backyard friendly" and ".45 caliber airgun" shouldn't be used in the same sentence, but the Great Kami does a thorough job of reducing the muzzle noise. The 240 grain Nielsen Specialty Ammo hitting a safe backstop at between 150 and 200 FPE, on the other hand, is pretty loud.

We hope you enjoy the video and learn something about this offering from AEA. I think the information we've provided can be applied to the .357 and .50 caliber HP SS Max Pre-Charged Pneumatic Air Rifles.
