Means either your hopup couldnt handle them, or your muzzle energy was too low.
Heavier ammo loses its energy less quickly. Best way to tell them apart is actually by the trajectory; heavy ammo tends to have much flatter trajectories. Should be easy to see between a .25 and .30.
I know a LOT of aftermarket nubbed hop rubbers cant effectively impart enough hop on heavier BBs. By the time they're putting enough pressure down to give you optimal trajectory, they've significantly lowered the muzzle energy, reversing any gains you might have gotten.
