Aguila Ammo?
« on: December 11, 2009, 09:57:38 AM »
Hello,

I picked up 500 rounds of Aguila Super Extra 38gn subsonic.

Nobody has the SSS 60 grain stuff.

Seems there's a formula that goes something like Proper Twist = (150 X bullet diameter) /(bullet length / bullet diameter).  The 36gn needs a bit slower and the 40gn seems to like 1:15 according to this formula, but the 38gn is perfect with the 1:16 twist.  All theoretical.

Anyway, I gave it a quick run and it seems promising.  I have to dial more to get 100 yards, but since it starts out at 1025fps or so, I don't have to worry as much about wind and transsonic speeds. 

Do you have any experience with this stuff, and what are your opinions?

I like all of their stuff I have tried except the Colibri.
too weak to clear the barrel half the time. I really like their
.22 shorts and the SSS.

  I like Aguila stuff..but remember to keep the Colibris in a short barrel, say 16 "-20". i  haven't yet tried the Super Colibris, they generate a couple hundred more fps.
  Their high velocity hollow points are very good, and their subsonics are really tops.
