Actually no, my BBs aren't the same manufacturer. I stopped selling AE due to quality control problems. Metal Tech seems to be a popular product of late althought I've honestly not used them myself. As Illusion says, if you're getting jams due to diameter, go to Excels and try - if you still have problems, you may have a diameter problem somewhere in the feedpath or barrel. My BB tolerances are slightly tighter but certain aspects of the product's material and construction properties impart benefits such as less jam potential on tight bore barrels and better grouping at distance (this is my own testing). Way back before I used this manufacturer I ordered in rice bags of vanilla BBs and had serious consistency issues, which is what turned me into a BB nazi when it came to selecting my manufacturer.
I can't really say scientifically which BB is better and I lean more towards Vondnik's interpretation. I do know that I've not had any bad feedback from my customers and I've handed people bottles and highcaps in the field of my product when their guns jammed on something else and it fired fine with my product- this is actually how I got early converts to my product.
In other words go with what works and what your gun likes... and hopefully thats mine!
