Don't bother, even if you can get them out past 40ft accurately, the guy you shoot probably won't feel them. Use .20g at a minimum, .25g (even in a stock AEG) are best, since they carry through dead grass and brush better. The lighter the BBs, the worse it performs, higher chances of even the lightest obstruction causing the BB to head elsewear. Sure, shooting in your basement with .12g is fine, but make sure to pour them all out into a bowl and look around them carefully for misformed ones. Cheap BBs have lower quality, and lower quality will jam & break your expensive AEG.
Personally, I started loading the first (first in, last out) 5-6 BBs as red .12g BBs into my locaps (the rest being AE .25g) to tell when I'm near the end of the mag. Saves embarrassing moments of "Crap, I'm out of ammo!!!" at the worst times, but also keeps the dry firing of the gun to a minimum.
