In praise of Aguila .22 ammo
« on: February 14, 2003, 03:16:56 AM »
Most people think of Aguila as a specialty ammo company with their 60 grain bullets and Colibri ammo. I've tried their standard ammo and I think it's wonderful. It's very reliable, it's of high quality, and it is relatively inexpensive.

I tried a case of their standard velocity long rifle, and it's better than Federal, and CCI, and it's as good as Eley target grade ammo.

I am pleased to hear your results.  I have been looking for 22LR for my Ruger Mark II.  

Natchezss.com  has a sale on Aguila in thier FEB/March  flier.  I just ordered 10 boxes of  22LR match pistol bullets for 1.94/box of 50.

The Aguila has a mixed reputation in the Bullseye world.  When they first started, their ammo was great.  Low price, VERY accurate, and had that sweet smell of Eley.  Then they ran into labor problems, had a strike, and their ammo suffered.  I suspect by now it is back up to snuff.  I have just under a case of it left and find it accurate, low recoil, and inexpensive.
