I bought 3 guns on the same day last year & proceeded to test them using 17 different ammos. Glock 44, S&W M&P22 full size (made in Germany by Walther), & Taurus TX22. Fired 8,188 rounds, documenting each failure. 2,400+ each thru the Glock and S&W, 3,200+ thru the Taurus. The Aguila performed well & was accurate in all, also in a pair of Ruger Mark IV's & a 10/22. I shoot 10,000+ rounds per year of .22LR so if a gun doesn't handle bulk ammo, I don't want it. Just bought another 1,000 rounds of Aguila @ Rural King for $13.99/250 with no limits.
Same here I've been collecting .22LRs it seems, and always run a bunch of ammo types through them. From match type to bulk, I managed to get a great deal on Auto-Match and got 5k of it. But I seem to be getting the HV for my plinking and Sniper SubSonic for hunting. I guess I'll put the Auto Match For gifts.
@@sdriza I have shot thousands of their super extra high velocity and I can’t remember a single malfunction. It just works. It’s crazy stable and groups as good as any CCI Minimags I have shot.
I’ve found Aguilia to be more reliable than mini mags in my lcp 2 22. I don’t care so much about dirty. But a mag dump causes the target to disappear in a cloud of gun smoke and it stings my eyes. I like it despite the smoke.
AGUILA is my prefered ammo , in 22, 45ACP, .223/5.56 & .308. As for me shooting in 22 cal. The AGUILA preforms outstanding. Thank you. I enjoyed the video.....
Shoots well in all of my 22lrs. Been getting it from Sportsman's Guide with free shipping fo orders over $50 and total price after tax and shipping insurance is 0.075/round when buying by the thousand.
Pretty good ammo. Not quite in the reliability class of CCI Minimags/Velocitors/AR Tactical, but pretty close. If your guns aren't super finicky (like my Walther P22, or my 10/22 takedown with upgraded barrel and match chamber) then this is probably the best bang for your buck. And it's a lot easier to find than CCI MiniMags, Velocitors, or AR-Tactical.
I use the Aguila now exclusively in my Tippman and TX22 for Project Appleseed shooting weekends. Between 500 and 800 each session. Scored multiple qualifying scores with NO malfunctions on timed events with this. LOVE IT
Your key comment was that certain firearms are finicky running certain brands of ammo. I found this to be the case with my Ruger Mk II and Aguila. I have had major issues with misfeeding where I couldn't shoot a full magazine without having to remove the magazine and clear the misfeed. I took the Ruger to my local gunsmith, and he assured me that I was cleaning it properly, so that wasn't the problem. He suggested that I use a different brand of ammo. I have had great success with CCI and Federal products with no issues. In the future, if I purchase any more Aguila, I will use it in my revolvers.
Love this stuff! I buy 4 boxes every time I go to academy sports. $5 a box is reasonable. I have run over 500 rds. through my Ar15 Conversion. I have a binary trigger on it and it cycles flawlessly. I have not had a misfeed or a dud. I would definitely recommend this if you can get it. Personally I do not really care about how dirty it is or isn't. I clean regularly anyways so it does not matter. I want to try their 308!
Man, I recently got a Ruger lcr 22lr, I've been trying different ammo, with the Aguilar super extra the spent casing's stick in the cylinder's you have to really hit the eject rod, the CCI and Remington pop right out !
Ever tested Norma TAC22? I make great groups out of multiple 22 rifles with it but it’s never occurred to me to do the dry patch cleaning test for comparison. I believe it’s the best 22lr on the market currently, it consistently performs even or very close to the much more expensive ELEY, Lapua, Federal Match etc but at $3.99 a box at PSA or $43 a brick of 500 at Norma’s web site with free shipping on orders over $49. My claim is based on the quality combined with the price. I definitely make slightly better groups with the premium ammo but at 20-35 cents a rd and scarce to boot, the Norma at 8-9 cents and readily available is my top pick. Hopefully you’ll integrate some TAC22 into a future test. It does have a lubricant coating that they claim reduces fouling. Best Regards from a new subscriber!
That test is coming up. Tac22 is like $6-$11 in my local area. A bit more than the Aguila. It says NORMA on the box but the headstamp on the Tac22s in my box are RWS which makes match grade 22 ammo.
Aguila Super Extra is bloody good. Reliable, accurate and doesn't get your gun all dirty after a couple of shots. From the way it smells I would guess they're using the same gun powder as SK match ammo, and that ammo is fantastic.
@@Moondog2Amy CZ doesn’t like Aguila. After couple of shots, it make my barrel dirty fast and the shell get stuck. My CZ does like the Remington and I’ve shot 1000+ ammo and I have no issue/no shell get stuck unlike the aguila.
@@Logan-py8weYou’re not wrong lol. People say Remington is the dirtiest but I’ve shot 1000+ Remington ammo and I never have issue like ammo shell get stuck.
Aguila interceptor is my favorite 40gr 1470 ft/sec. Brutal on mid size rodents. Coyotes, bobcat, fisher cats etc. Close to cci velocitor. Haven't really noticed if it's any dirtier than others. I like it a lot
@@Candikanelane Proly not. CA prices are always jacked up. They passed a law here 3 years ago preventing you from getting ammo shipped to you directly; you have to have it shipped to an FFL. And the FFL's here charge anywhere from $30-$50 to process mail-order ammo (some charge a % of the order).
@@Moondog2A I think our laws are pretty similar so I feel your pain. I cannot buy ammo or firearms online and have it shipped direct. Luckily for me I can hunt what I need down from Shoot Point blank or Bass directly without having to deal with the FFL fee. I see classic firearms has some great deals online, but not worth it for me. Might as just wait for the big box stores and avoid the fees.
They have it on sale, tomorrow, March 25, 2022 at Big5 for $22 for a box of 250. Limit 2 boxes. Price is regularly $29.99. Gonna have to check out Turners Sporting Goods!
RK Guns had this for 13.99 for the 250 round pack for black Friday sales over the last few days RK Guns is Rural king by the way. I've picked up a few thousand rounds of this in the last few months from them.
I've been using the Sniper Subsonic in my Ruger Rimfire and Heavy Barrel. It's my goto hunt ammo for grouse. The local Canadian Tire got some Colibri standard 420 FPS & some Super. The standard is 67db thats near whisper, I haven't tried the Super yet. I do know the standard will not action in my semi auto, but boy it's quiet! The HV actions my G22 and Sig P226 subcal conversions, not all ammos do. I give it a good rating!
Your reviews are outstanding. I have had good results with Aguila both in terms of reliability and accuracy from my Ruger 10/22. I'd say they are roughly comparable to Mini-mags. I don't care about fouling as I clean my gun at least once every 50,000 rounds.
This is how Aguila pronounces their name in their own commercial. The emphasis is on the 'A not the "gui' or "gee"' ruclips.net/channel/UCqUHWfzdZ5__zqtCzoux0vw
Aguila leaves a sweet smell in my nostrils when smelling a freshly spent case. Remington rimfire is basically garbage, duds and lots of weak loads. CCI is on a whole different level...they're excellent!
I’ve been pleased with Aguilla’s 22lr selections. I find them equivalent to the cci reliability and accuracy with similar loads. They do smell like burnt paint to me. It’s important to note that 22lr wasn’t originally designed for semiauto. Not all 22lr will cycle semiauto.
581s & 10/22 "International". CCI 40gn RN & Aguila 40rn RN. Theses two seem to shoot the best out of my rifles. Golf Balls at 50 & 100 is just good practice and just fun. In my bolt rifle the CCI MM Hp is a tiny more accurate.
I get all warm and fuzzy when I hit a golf ball at 100 yards, using a scoped Henry and normally automatch...it sometimes takes a few shots, which oddly is more fun...
I shoot, and store, this ammo all the time, never noticed any extra fouling. Of course, I clean all my guns every time I shoot. I enjoy the down time alone while cleaning. I carry a TX22 and I load it with Winchester Silvertips
@@Moondog2A Honestly, everything I've tried in my TX22 is reliable. I carried a Ruger SR22 and loved it but once I picked up the TX22, I fell in love. Unbelievable reliable, fits my hand better plus 17 rounds. Had to drop larger calibers due to old man arthritis in wrists. Still like CCI Velocities but watched the gel test videos on Silvertips and I think 3 or 4 of those in someone will make them leave me alone.
Makes sense. Like match sticks. But Aguila is noticeably grittier than most US made ammo. If Aguila used to use Eley primers I wonder if Eley is similar (I haven't shot enough Eley to notice)?
@@Moondog2A rimfire priming is pretty complex. I think if you get something reliable you wouldn't worry too much about the grit. Centerfire primers have contained ground glass and other black magic. Doesn't seem to hurt anything, we hope.
Aguila feeds consistently in every 22 i own,my mk3 hunter bought brand spanking new at launch which is finicky with ammo eats this stuff up.It does have a different smell to it,but my HK 416 22 gives me the best accuracy with this stuff,better than green tag,and i just picked up 1800 rds for 3.99/box best ive seen in a long time
I actually like the Remington Golder Bullets a lot. They are a dirty round but that has not affected the performance of my .22 firearms. Yesterday, I shot both the Golden Bullets and some Aguila bulk .22 ammo. The only failure that I had was with the Aguila. There were 2 rounds that didn't fire in my revolver. One fired on the second strike but the other round never did fire.
My bolt action Marlin shoots Agulia just the same as my zero with CCI Stingers I couldn’t believe it,but it does. Almost cuts the same hole.😳 and it does ok n my Heritage rough rider. Golden bullet shoots the best in that. My wife carries the Walther P22 and it shoots CCI mini mag 40gr copper plated round nose the best it shoots clean and accurate and out of 100’s of rds very few malfunctions.good video 👍
@@Moondog2A 25 yds. That’s where I zero 22 r 22mag they r a small game cartridge and don’t have a lotta distance to them. I have coyotes everywhere and I don’t even use a 22 for them I think it’s to small unless it’s close 100 yards and under and it better be on the mark r u got a wounded animal on your hands and that’s no good.☹️ I use to hunt groundhogs a lot when I was a young man and I hunted a creek that run through several counties and it was full of groundhogs and I would sit on one side and shoot across and usually 75 yards and under and I had a lot walk up my leg while sitting watching across the creek and the 22 mag was perfect for that. I bought that Marlin from a friend back n the 80’s for 60 bucks and I had it parkerized for 35 and a total of 95 bucks n that rifle and a few yrs later he bought a Ruger M77 22 mag for 500 bucks new and we had a kinda shooting contest and that old Marlin he sold me for 60 bucks yrs before ate that Ruger for breakfast and he turned around and sold it shorty after😂 He never said nothing but I could tell it stuck n his craw. Just a little story that happened among friends yrs ago.
@@Moondog2A Marlin 782. I think they were made n 1985. Tack driver with the Winchester Super X 40gr JHP. It just sits n my safe. I bought a farm back n 90 and I started hunting coyotes and I think a 22mag is a little small for coyotes over a 100 yards so I use a deer rifle. It very rarely gets shot anymore but back n the day it knocked down a lot of groundhogs.
Try this test in a rifle. Aguila wasn't designed to shoot out of pistols. In a rifle more powder will be burned. This test doesn't really mean anything unless the ammo is designed for short barrels.
Hi, I just bought a S&W 63 revolver, and I tried to use my Aguilla Super Extra (I have a good stock of them, and they are ok with my Ruger 10/22 and my P22 walther) but they don't chamber, they are too fat (about 3 hundredths of a millimetre) ! I'm so disappointed. I tried also with the hollow points Super, with same result. Are all Aguila's ammunitions different size than other brands and why that ?
I'm pretty sure Aguila's 22LR are within SAAMI spec. But there is some manufacturing variations. That's some tight tolerances on that 63?! Like you I've only shot it in a 10/22, P22, and an Advantage Arms 1911 conversion slide, all load it without issue. @aguilaammunition
I met a guy at my local shooting grounds and he was saying that all he shoots through his gun is cci mini mags and all I have been shotting since getting my 22 is Aguila and yes I do see that it’s gritty inside the barrel but we were shotting at 332 yards and about 1 in 10 shots was hitting the propane tanks out on the hill and the same was for him and his cci I did have federal and shot it but it was coming up a like 2 or 3 yards short and without adjusting my scope I could only see the dust after it was rising but with my guilt I was close to the bottom of my scope - my gun is a $100 SEARS model 41 103 with a $50 cv life, 6-24x50 AOE scope That guy had a very similar gun his said JC Higgins I think he said it was older than mine because he got his gun when he was 10 years old and he was running a barska scope 3x9 it wasn’t very big so maybe it was 32 mm
My recent bulk purchase of this brand was a complete disappointment. I had failure to extract with every thing I tried it in. The ammo has a tacky feeling on it. Maybe it’s a lube that has gone bad and thickened up. It shoots good if you take the time too wash each round with alcohol or acetone but that defeats the point of buying it because it was at an excellent price. Maybe the box ammo will not be like this, but I would advise steering clear of the bulk.
I dint know Aguila super extra till a few days ago, but price of ammos in my country rised up so much, I'm gonna try them in my P22. I just bought 4000 to minimise cost of transport... Hope I wont be desapointed.
It works in my Walther P22 but that may not be the case with all P22. I know P22 can be a bit finicky with ammo depending on age of the model and the recoil spring (I've replaced mine with a Tandom Cross). Hope you subscribe.
@@Moondog2A they are awesome because of reliability, power, expansion they cycle in all the rimfire guns I have had and currently own. Aguila and cci are prob on par with one another in every aspect however I believe the maximum flat nose and hollow point is the best bang for your buck!!
@@Moondog2A also I don't hunt i just love to shoot and use a lot of rimfire because of cost and I had 14 anchors placed in my shoulder and believe the less recoil the better for the longevity of my shoulder.
Aguila is great ammo. It’s reliable and accurate. This fouling test means nothing to me because I clean my guns after every range visit, so no big deal. Aguila is as good as CCI and costs a lot less.
HEY FRIEND, NICE TO SEE A NEW VIDEO, UTUBE MUST NOT BE LETTING GUNS AND AMMO CHANNELS THRU , OR NOTIFYING US SUBSCRIBERS WHEN NEW VIDEOS ARE PRODUCED ?
Did you click the Bell icon? I had to re-upload because the original one recently got demonetized by RUclips because their anti- 2A reviewer deemed it "not suitable for most advertisers"
@@Moondog2A I run solid copper plated round nose. They will penetrate deeper if your using .22Lr for self-D that's what you want. And don't stop at one pop several in their ass. When hunting small game I use 38gr hollow point.👍🖖
let me tell you my thoughts on aguila super extra hv 22lr ammo i have a old high standard pistol that loves this ammo i have to shoot off a rest do to parkinsens , this pistol is sited in for 130 yards i kid you not, this ammo is consistent, a little 5 inch ram steel target 6 to 8 out of 10 shots yes the pistol is good but that ammo makes it great. now i am not saying 130 feet this is a 130 yards, the only problem is i can not find it anymore ,but cci mini mag works almost as well got to tell you i love that aguila.
You used to be able to fin Aguila all over the Big5's pre-COVID and you could still buy bricks of 500 last year. But I haven't seen it on in any stores near me all year.
great video. Are you saying that your Walther P-22 does not like the Aguila Super Extra, but the Ruger 10/22 does? Also Big 5 Orange County, CA selling it for $29 for 250 rounds on Oct 29,2021.
Big 5 up here in Daly City just got a shipment of Aguila last weekend. Its the first time I've seen it in about a year. But I remember the Big5 Xmass sale 2019 when it was selling for $25 for 500. I miss those days. Yes, my Walther P22 doesn't cycle reliably with Aguila SupX. But most 22LR pistols I've owned only like CCI Mini-Mags, Blazers or Golden Bullets.
@@tayloranderson590 Wish there was an Academy near me. I could use that price to get a price match at Dick's like I used to but that was before their fud CEO took his Anti-2A stance.
@@Moondog2A Interesting that your Walther P22 doesn't like them, yet my S&W M&P22 full size does very well with them. My S&W full size was actually made in Germany by Walther. The S&W Compact is made in the USA & is virtually identical to the Walther P22.
@@ronaldperkins4222 Every pistol is a little different. But I suspect the barrel/internal-frame of both the P22 and M&P22 are identical. Does your slide roll-mark have 3-crowns within a shield? i49.photobucket.com/albums/f275/suba-saab/SW%20MP%2022/IMG_0386-1.jpg
Is Remington GB? Golden Bullets are one of the few rounds that will reliably cycle my Walther P22 and Advantage Arms G17 conversion slide, while Aguila seldom cycles. Rem groups meh in my 10/22 but Aguila is one of the best grouping ammo (almost as good as Elley match grade).
San Francisco bay area a year ago a box of Lapua Midas + was going for 30 bux. Even today it sells for 22 bux at Midway USA www.midwayusa.com/product/1270535344
No problem Luke. Have two conversions in both my 16" rifle and my 10" Ar pistol. In fact its a reliable and good ammo for every single 22lr firarm I own.
@@Moondog2A Yes, surprisingly, better than CCI Mini-Mags (hollow and solid point). I do not shoot hyper velocity rounds out of my P22because 1). They are not recommended by Walther and 2). Inspecting the bottom of my slide after shooting some hyper velocity rounds early on I saw why. The bottom of the slide showed damage where the slide contacted the slide rails. It is a soft zinc alloy and can't take the stronger recoil of the hyper velocity rounds. I had to use my Dremel to reshape the gouges in the slide. I have even seen some slides cracked in half so I stick with regular high velocity rounds.
As I just said elsewhere: I think AutoMatch is the best bulk ammo out there, except for maybe the Aguila Super Extra which can be had in bulk packs as well. Next step up on the accuracy ladder would be CCI Standard Velocity. My BEST group results have been with Wolf Match Extra (NOT Match Target, which I haven't tried), actually PRODUCED by Eley now, which has beat everything including all of the Eley, Lapua, and SK that I have tried INCLUDING two varieties of Tenex, though I HAVEN'T tried Lapua X-Act. Tell you what I'm NOT buying any time soon: Winchester Super-X. All of the recent-production I've had (say 2013 - present) has been GARBAGE... report all over the map, groups sizes DOUBLE or even TRIPLE of the next-worst. What's crazy is, I have some 30 year-old Super-X and it is STILL excellent ammo. In fact, the Aguila Super Extra is a CARBON-COPY of the OLD, GOOD Winchester Super-X, right down to the group-sizes. I thought about contacting Winchester and asking "WTF?!?", but I was pretty sure it would be a waste of time.
@@Moondog2A Aguila also apparently used to use the Eley primer recipe? (old boxes used to say "Eley Prime", but now they say "Aguila Prime"... maybe the patent expired? : )
Thanks for pointing out that typo but I can't fix that at this point. Concerning the pronunciation, I did a new video on that. ruclips.net/video/Q870i8z8ocQ/видео.html
I have three rifles and I bought a couple of boxes of Aguila and not one of my rifles will fire this round without getting stuck in the chamber Aguila is just a bad ammo for me I don't recommend it and I clean my rifles really good after every time I shoot
The Marlin 60 is an older rifle I don't know if that had anything to do with it Mossberg Plinkster 802 I had to use a cleaning rod to get it out of my Barrel Springfield model 88 same as the 802
kind of had the same problem in my marlin xt22 fires them ok but wont eject them but with cci and remington no problem but they do have a pretty good pop to them.
You mention how dirty is an ammo brand is not important. I clean my firearms every time I get home after a range session. However, I shoot probably over 500 rounds of which 400 is for the 22LR handgun, so it is important to clean afterward. You also mention reliability. I found the Aguila (of which I found the Super Extra 40 gr at the stores) the least reliable. After many feed failures, and also inspecting unused (new) ammo, I found the cause: loose bullets. The feed failures were due to the bullet getting bent out of alignment with the case when the round was pressed against the feed ramp in a semi-auto handgun. The bullet would get bent upward as it got slammed against the feed ramp, and would snag on trying to get chambered. I had 1 to 2 failures per 10-round magazine, sometimes worse. I opened boxes of the Aguila 22LR, and I could flex the bullets because they were loose. Only 9 out of 50 were tight (no flex). I've shot around 1200 rounds of the Aguila, and many hundreds of other brands while recording failures during the range sessions, and the Aguila was the worst regarding reliability. When an Aguila round jammed, cycling the bolt resulting in losing 2 rounds: the bent round and the next feed round. All tested 22LR ammo was copper clad, and in the last test session 50 rounds were fired for each brand. Federal Champion 36 gr: 1 jammed. CCI Clean 40 gr: zero jams. Federal Punch 29 gr: 1 jammed. CCI Stinger 32 gr: 4 jammed (this will need retesting since the barrel was found loose from the frame). CCI Mini Mag 40 gr:1 jammed. Aguila Super Extra 40 gr: 8 jammed. For the test, Aguila happened to not cause as many failures that day. Previously I was running 1 to 2 feed failures per 10-round magazine (which results in losing another round to remove the jammed round, so 2 to 4 rounds per magazine). I also found the Aguila was the dirtiest ammo, with Federal Punch coming in 2nd. For least fouling and lowest feed failures, my 22LR likes CCI best. I'll be checking with the police or gun range if they'll let me safely dispose of the remaining 400 rounds of Aguila ammo that I still have. If I had a firearm that chambered the round straight into the barrel, I'd use it up that way. A loose bullet in the shell wouldn't be a problem if feed straight into the barrel, but a loose round can get bent when slammed into the feed ramp.
Thanks for that deep insight. Check with your local LEO. Or just put it up as a freebee with your local shooting club, I'm sure somebody's rifle loves it. I hope you subscribe, I'll be redoing this test with some other rifles and ammo brands in the near future.
Aguila is not great. I’m not sure I would say it’s even good. It’s waxed which is already not a good start, and I had cycling issues in my GSG-16. Never had such issues with CCI Mini Mag CPHP. Also, the reason you’re picking up more fouling with the dry patch than the wet patch is because when the patch is wet (with hopefully solvent, not lubricant) the coefficient of friction is much lower, thus, you’ll pick up less fouling. It’s ideal to have a warm barrel, run two solvent dipped patches through, wait a few minutes and then run a bronze cleaning brush, followed by dry patches til fouling is gone. Then follow that by a patch moistened with oil to lubricate your barrel.
I'm assuming people with compact pistols like a snub revolver intend it for CCW/self-defense primarily. Hollow Points are designed specifically to expand when used at close-range (though how much is debatable); it's practically the only reason to buy HP 22LR, though some hunters swear by them.
@@Moondog2A oh i see. I thought u meant there's something particular about snubbies vs other guns lije semi auto or something. Got cha. Thanks for reply.

I love aguia's rimfire ammo. Their centerfire stuff is excellent too. Haven't had any issues with 22LR, .223 Rem, 9x19, or. 380 Auto.
I bought 3 guns on the same day last year & proceeded to test them using 17 different ammos. Glock 44, S&W M&P22 full size (made in Germany by Walther), & Taurus TX22. Fired 8,188 rounds, documenting each failure. 2,400+ each thru the Glock and S&W, 3,200+ thru the Taurus. The Aguila performed well & was accurate in all, also in a pair of Ruger Mark IV's & a 10/22. I shoot 10,000+ rounds per year of .22LR so if a gun doesn't handle bulk ammo, I don't want it. Just bought another 1,000 rounds of Aguila @ Rural King for $13.99/250 with no limits.

Pretty good ammo. Not quite in the reliability class of CCI Minimags/Velocitors/AR Tactical, but pretty close. If your guns aren't super finicky (like my Walther P22, or my 10/22 takedown with upgraded barrel and match chamber) then this is probably the best bang for your buck. And it's a lot easier to find than CCI MiniMags, Velocitors, or AR-Tactical.

I appreciate that! Be sure to subscribe, thanks.
Your key comment was that certain firearms are finicky running certain brands of ammo. I found this to be the case with my Ruger Mk II and Aguila. I have had major issues with misfeeding where I couldn't shoot a full magazine without having to remove the magazine and clear the misfeed. I took the Ruger to my local gunsmith, and he assured me that I was cleaning it properly, so that wasn't the problem. He suggested that I use a different brand of ammo. I have had great success with CCI and Federal products with no issues. In the future, if I purchase any more Aguila, I will use it in my revolvers.
Thanks for that input. Hope you subscribe. You might also try Remington Golden Bullets as they have a similar Pop as CCI (though far less consistent).
The grit you’re feeling is most likely ground glass used in the priming compound
It's Sand. They call crushed silicon dioxide sand.
This 22LR Super Extra Velocity Aguila is selling for 2.99 for 50 round box right now.
So im seeing how they well they function.
Where?! That's pre-pandemic pricing?
I got the Taurus tx22 and I run it no problem 900 rounds I love it

Man, I recently got a Ruger lcr 22lr, I've been trying different ammo, with the Aguilar super extra the spent casing's stick in the cylinder's you have to really hit the eject rod, the CCI and Remington pop right out !
Bingo! You can buy it and at a reasonable price. Around here if you can find it buy it.
Ever tested Norma TAC22? I make great groups out of multiple 22 rifles with it but it’s never occurred to me to do the dry patch cleaning test for comparison. I believe it’s the best 22lr on the market currently, it consistently performs even or very close to the much more expensive ELEY, Lapua, Federal Match etc but at $3.99 a box at PSA or $43 a brick of 500 at Norma’s web site with free shipping on orders over $49. My claim is based on the quality combined with the price. I definitely make slightly better groups with the premium ammo but at 20-35 cents a rd and scarce to boot, the Norma at 8-9 cents and readily available is my top pick. Hopefully you’ll integrate some TAC22 into a future test. It does have a lubricant coating that they claim reduces fouling. Best Regards from a new subscriber!
That test is coming up. Tac22 is like $6-$11 in my local area. A bit more than the Aguila. It says NORMA on the box but the headstamp on the Tac22s in my box are RWS which makes match grade 22 ammo.
Aguila Super Extra is bloody good. Reliable, accurate and doesn't get your gun all dirty after a couple of shots.
From the way it smells I would guess they're using the same gun powder as SK match ammo, and that ammo is fantastic.
I wonder what makes it smell different than other powder? I liken it to burned cane or dried wheat chaff.
Couple of shots? Try a few mags...dirtiest ammo I've ever shot
@@Moondog2Amy CZ doesn’t like Aguila. After couple of shots, it make my barrel dirty fast and the shell get stuck. My CZ does like the Remington and I’ve shot 1000+ ammo and I have no issue/no shell get stuck unlike the aguila.
@@Logan-py8weYou’re not wrong lol. People say Remington is the dirtiest but I’ve shot 1000+ Remington ammo and I never have issue like ammo shell get stuck.

@@Moondog2A I am not sure if the prices are the same across all Bass Pro. Mine is in IL.
@@Candikanelane Proly not. CA prices are always jacked up. They passed a law here 3 years ago preventing you from getting ammo shipped to you directly; you have to have it shipped to an FFL. And the FFL's here charge anywhere from $30-$50 to process mail-order ammo (some charge a % of the order).
@@Moondog2A I think our laws are pretty similar so I feel your pain. I cannot buy ammo or firearms online and have it shipped direct. Luckily for me I can hunt what I need down from Shoot Point blank or Bass directly without having to deal with the FFL fee. I see classic firearms has some great deals online, but not worth it for me. Might as just wait for the big box stores and avoid the fees.
I can confirm 14.99 at bass pro in CA! 2 box limit though.

Aguila is the brand of .22 I shoot the most. Reliable, inexpensive, and clean enough.
I prefer shooting CCI Mini-Mags but I can't justify the extra cost to benefit ratio
I've been using the Sniper Subsonic in my Ruger Rimfire and Heavy Barrel. It's my goto hunt ammo for grouse. The local Canadian Tire got some Colibri standard 420 FPS & some Super. The standard is 67db thats near whisper, I haven't tried the Super yet. I do know the standard will not action in my semi auto, but boy it's quiet!
The HV actions my G22 and Sig P226 subcal conversions, not all ammos do. I give it a good rating!
Sniper? That's an ammo brand I'm not familiar with.
Your reviews are outstanding. I have had good results with Aguila both in terms of reliability and accuracy from my Ruger 10/22. I'd say they are roughly comparable to Mini-mags. I don't care about fouling as I clean my gun at least once every 50,000 rounds.
Thanks. Much better than I was expecting too. Hope you subscribed.
This is how Aguila pronounces their name in their own commercial. The emphasis is on the 'A not the "gui' or "gee"' ruclips.net/channel/UCqUHWfzdZ5__zqtCzoux0vw
Aguila leaves a sweet smell in my nostrils when smelling a freshly spent case. Remington rimfire is basically garbage, duds and lots of weak loads. CCI is on a whole different level...they're excellent!
Just letting you know the sweet smell is probably just you inhaling straight lead
@@pepejpg5039 spent case
I’ve been pleased with Aguilla’s 22lr selections. I find them equivalent to the cci reliability and accuracy with similar loads.
They do smell like burnt paint to me.
It’s important to note that 22lr wasn’t originally designed for semiauto. Not all 22lr will cycle semiauto.
581s & 10/22 "International". CCI 40gn RN & Aguila 40rn RN. Theses two seem to shoot the best out of my rifles.
Golf Balls at 50 & 100 is just good practice and just fun. In my bolt rifle the CCI MM Hp is a tiny more accurate.
I get all warm and fuzzy when I hit a golf ball at 100 yards, using a scoped Henry and normally automatch...it sometimes takes a few shots, which oddly is more fun...
I shoot, and store, this ammo all the time, never noticed any extra fouling. Of course, I clean all my guns every time I shoot. I enjoy the down time alone while cleaning. I carry a TX22 and I load it with Winchester Silvertips
Haven't tried Silvertips. Is it the most reliable in your TX22?
@@Moondog2A Honestly, everything I've tried in my TX22 is reliable. I carried a Ruger SR22 and loved it but once I picked up the TX22, I fell in love. Unbelievable reliable, fits my hand better plus 17 rounds. Had to drop larger calibers due to old man arthritis in wrists. Still like CCI Velocities but watched the gel test videos on Silvertips and I think 3 or 4 of those in someone will make them leave me alone.

You need something gritty in the primer mix to respond to crushing.
Makes sense. Like match sticks. But Aguila is noticeably grittier than most US made ammo. If Aguila used to use Eley primers I wonder if Eley is similar (I haven't shot enough Eley to notice)?
@@Moondog2A rimfire priming is pretty complex. I think if you get something reliable you wouldn't worry too much about the grit. Centerfire primers have contained ground glass and other black magic. Doesn't seem to hurt anything, we hope.
Reliability is more important than even corrosion.

Their SE HP is the best small game bullet out of a .22 pistol and very accurate. I don’t care if it’s dirty
Better than CCI HP?
Aguila feeds consistently in every 22 i own,my mk3 hunter bought brand spanking new at launch which is finicky with ammo eats this stuff up.It does have a different smell to it,but my HK 416 22 gives me the best accuracy with this stuff,better than green tag,and i just picked up 1800 rds for 3.99/box best ive seen in a long time
Which store are you buying from?
Optics planet, your welcome...
I actually like the Remington Golder Bullets a lot.
They are a dirty round but that has not affected the performance of my .22 firearms.
Yesterday, I shot both the Golden Bullets and some Aguila bulk .22 ammo. The only failure that I had was with the Aguila. There were 2 rounds that didn't fire in my revolver. One fired on the second strike but the other round never did fire.
It's got a good amount of pop to cycle my pistols. Hope you subscribed and Happy New Year.
My bolt action Marlin shoots Agulia just the same as my zero with CCI Stingers I couldn’t believe it,but it does. Almost cuts the same hole.😳 and it does ok n my Heritage rough rider. Golden bullet shoots the best in that.

Nice. What distance?
@@Moondog2A 25 yds. That’s where I zero 22 r 22mag they r a small game cartridge and don’t have a lotta distance to them. I have coyotes everywhere and I don’t even use a 22 for them I think it’s to small unless it’s close 100 yards and under and it better be on the mark r u got a wounded animal on your hands and that’s no good.☹️ I use to hunt groundhogs a lot when I was a young man and I hunted a creek that run through several counties and it was full of groundhogs and I would sit on one side and shoot across and usually 75 yards and under and I had a lot walk up my leg while sitting watching across the creek and the 22 mag was perfect for that. I bought that Marlin from a friend back n the 80’s for 60 bucks and I had it parkerized for 35 and a total of 95 bucks n that rifle and a few yrs later he bought a Ruger M77 22 mag for 500 bucks new and we had a kinda shooting contest and that old Marlin he sold me for 60 bucks yrs before ate that Ruger for breakfast and he turned around and sold it shorty after😂 He never said nothing but I could tell it stuck n his craw. Just a little story that happened among friends yrs ago.
@@bradclem6226 You outshot a bolt gun with your Marlin 60? I attribute shooter skill.
@@Moondog2A Marlin 782. I think they were made n 1985. Tack driver with the Winchester Super X 40gr JHP. It just sits n my safe. I bought a farm back n 90 and I started hunting coyotes and I think a 22mag is a little small for coyotes over a 100 yards so I use a deer rifle. It very rarely gets shot anymore but back n the day it knocked down a lot of groundhogs.
Bought 5 cases of Aguila back around 1999.50% miss fires.Never bought another box!
Geez, what were you shooting with it, a Walther P22?
Try this test in a rifle. Aguila wasn't designed to shoot out of pistols. In a rifle more powder will be burned. This test doesn't really mean anything unless the ammo is designed for short barrels.
Thanks for that info. I'll have to ask my contact at Aguila what they recommend for pistols.
Hi, I just bought a S&W 63 revolver, and I tried to use my Aguilla Super Extra (I have a good stock of them, and they are ok with my Ruger 10/22 and my P22 walther) but they don't chamber, they are too fat (about 3 hundredths of a millimetre) ! I'm so disappointed. I tried also with the hollow points Super, with same result. Are all Aguila's ammunitions different size than other brands and why that ?
I'm pretty sure Aguila's 22LR are within SAAMI spec. But there is some manufacturing variations. That's some tight tolerances on that 63?! Like you I've only shot it in a 10/22, P22, and an Advantage Arms 1911 conversion slide, all load it without issue. @aguilaammunition
I can't get the Aguila Super Extra to run in my P22. The Remington will run (sort of) but I have found that it is VERY finnacky
I met a guy at my local shooting grounds and he was saying that all he shoots through his gun is cci mini mags and all I have been shotting since getting my 22 is Aguila and yes I do see that it’s gritty inside the barrel but we were shotting at 332 yards and about 1 in 10 shots was hitting the propane tanks out on the hill and the same was for him and his cci I did have federal and shot it but it was coming up a like 2 or 3 yards short and without adjusting my scope I could only see the dust after it was rising but with my guilt I was close to the bottom of my scope - my gun is a $100 SEARS model 41 103 with a $50 cv life, 6-24x50 AOE scope
That guy had a very similar gun his said JC Higgins I think he said it was older than mine because he got his gun when he was 10 years old and he was running a barska scope 3x9 it wasn’t very big so maybe it was 32 mm
I had that same scope. I can't say I cared much for the reticle but it held zero.
The Aguila 22 ammo groups better than any other ammo in my CZ bolt gun that any other i tried.
Which CZ model and are you shooting Standard Velocity or Super Extra?
My recent bulk purchase of this brand was a complete disappointment. I had failure to extract with every thing I tried it in. The ammo has a tacky feeling on it. Maybe it’s a lube that has gone bad and thickened up. It shoots good if you take the time too wash each round with alcohol or acetone but that defeats the point of buying it because it was at an excellent price. Maybe the box ammo will not be like this, but I would advise steering clear of the bulk.
Similar to European style rimfire rounds they use a waxy lube. What guns were you using?

What makes them Awesome? Do you use the Super Max for? Pest control or cycling?

yap the Italian version is AQUILA.. lol😅
Aguila and Remington are designed for rifle length barrels.
Is Remington GB? Golden Bullets are one of the few rounds that will reliably cycle my Walther P22 and Advantage Arms G17 conversion slide, while Aguila seldom cycles. Rem groups meh in my 10/22 but Aguila is one of the best grouping ammo (almost as good as Elley match grade).
The prices made me sad in 2024 😭
Hope you subscribed. Pre-Rona, the Christmas sales at Big 5 sports, these would go for 2 bucks a box.
I don't know where you are but I have never seen a box of 22 going for 30 bucks . Maybe a bulk pack
San Francisco bay area a year ago a box of Lapua Midas + was going for 30 bux. Even today it sells for 22 bux at Midway USA www.midwayusa.com/product/1270535344
Without the U in Aguila, the letter G would be pronounced like a soft J. True also when the letter E follows the letter G without a U between them.

Aguila Super Extra, Remington Thunderbolt and Federal 36 gr hollow point work best in my Walther P22QD. And by the way it is pronounced Ah-Gee-La.
Better than CCI? You are correct, with the emphasis is on the AH ruclips.net/video/Q870i8z8ocQ/видео.html
@@Moondog2A Yes, surprisingly, better than CCI Mini-Mags (hollow and solid point). I do not shoot hyper velocity rounds out of my P22because 1). They are not recommended by Walther and 2). Inspecting the bottom of my slide after shooting some hyper velocity rounds early on I saw why. The bottom of the slide showed damage where the slide contacted the slide rails. It is a soft zinc alloy and can't take the stronger recoil of the hyper velocity rounds. I had to use my Dremel to reshape the gouges in the slide. I have even seen some slides cracked in half so I stick with regular high velocity rounds.
I have a 500rd brick of the Golden Eagle Match in the Black Boxes
Is that pre or post Pandemic stock?
Lead fouling? ....that's unburnt powder not fouling.....
As I just said elsewhere:
I think AutoMatch is the best bulk ammo out there, except for maybe the Aguila Super Extra which can be had in bulk packs as well. Next step up on the accuracy ladder would be CCI Standard Velocity. My BEST group results have been with Wolf Match Extra (NOT Match Target, which I haven't tried), actually PRODUCED by Eley now, which has beat everything including all of the Eley, Lapua, and SK that I have tried INCLUDING two varieties of Tenex, though I HAVEN'T tried Lapua X-Act.
Tell you what I'm NOT buying any time soon: Winchester Super-X. All of the recent-production I've had (say 2013 - present) has been GARBAGE... report all over the map, groups sizes DOUBLE or even TRIPLE of the next-worst. What's crazy is, I have some 30 year-old Super-X and it is STILL excellent ammo. In fact, the Aguila Super Extra is a CARBON-COPY of the OLD, GOOD Winchester Super-X, right down to the group-sizes. I thought about contacting Winchester and asking "WTF?!?", but I was pretty sure it would be a waste of time.
Somebody wrote me that Aguila was what CCI originally used to be.
@@Moondog2A Aguila also apparently used to use the Eley primer recipe? (old boxes used to say "Eley Prime", but now they say "Aguila Prime"... maybe the patent expired? : )

Aguila is the WORST ammo I’ve ever shot.!!!!!!!
You mention how dirty is an ammo brand is not important. I clean my firearms every time I get home after a range session. However, I shoot probably over 500 rounds of which 400 is for the 22LR handgun, so it is important to clean afterward. You also mention reliability. I found the Aguila (of which I found the Super Extra 40 gr at the stores) the least reliable. After many feed failures, and also inspecting unused (new) ammo, I found the cause: loose bullets. The feed failures were due to the bullet getting bent out of alignment with the case when the round was pressed against the feed ramp in a semi-auto handgun. The bullet would get bent upward as it got slammed against the feed ramp, and would snag on trying to get chambered. I had 1 to 2 failures per 10-round magazine, sometimes worse. I opened boxes of the Aguila 22LR, and I could flex the bullets because they were loose. Only 9 out of 50 were tight (no flex). I've shot around 1200 rounds of the Aguila, and many hundreds of other brands while recording failures during the range sessions, and the Aguila was the worst regarding reliability. When an Aguila round jammed, cycling the bolt resulting in losing 2 rounds: the bent round and the next feed round.
All tested 22LR ammo was copper clad, and in the last test session 50 rounds were fired for each brand. Federal Champion 36 gr: 1 jammed. CCI Clean 40 gr: zero jams. Federal Punch 29 gr: 1 jammed. CCI Stinger 32 gr: 4 jammed (this will need retesting since the barrel was found loose from the frame). CCI Mini Mag 40 gr:1 jammed. Aguila Super Extra 40 gr: 8 jammed. For the test, Aguila happened to not cause as many failures that day. Previously I was running 1 to 2 feed failures per 10-round magazine (which results in losing another round to remove the jammed round, so 2 to 4 rounds per magazine). I also found the Aguila was the dirtiest ammo, with Federal Punch coming in 2nd. For least fouling and lowest feed failures, my 22LR likes CCI best.
I'll be checking with the police or gun range if they'll let me safely dispose of the remaining 400 rounds of Aguila ammo that I still have. If I had a firearm that chambered the round straight into the barrel, I'd use it up that way. A loose bullet in the shell wouldn't be a problem if feed straight into the barrel, but a loose round can get bent when slammed into the feed ramp.
Thanks for that deep insight. Check with your local LEO. Or just put it up as a freebee with your local shooting club, I'm sure somebody's rifle loves it. I hope you subscribe, I'll be redoing this test with some other rifles and ammo brands in the near future.
Just scored 300 rounds of it for basically nothing!
Did somebody think they were crap and give them to you? Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, thanks!
@@Moondog2A I got it from a trade with an old red dot my father in law had given me years ago lol! I got ya brother!
Have you tried federal bulk pack 325 count
Which Federal. Champion? or AutoMatch? Have you subscribed?
@@Moondog2A automatch
I've tested Auto Match on my 10/22 with comparable groups to the Aguila but at a higher CPR. ruclips.net/video/UA4QA0L4FNM/видео.html
It's pronounced AH-GEE-LA
Aguila is not great. I’m not sure I would say it’s even good. It’s waxed which is already not a good start, and I had cycling issues in my GSG-16. Never had such issues with CCI Mini Mag CPHP.
Also, the reason you’re picking up more fouling with the dry patch than the wet patch is because when the patch is wet (with hopefully solvent, not lubricant) the coefficient of friction is much lower, thus, you’ll pick up less fouling. It’s ideal to have a warm barrel, run two solvent dipped patches through, wait a few minutes and then run a bronze cleaning brush, followed by dry patches til fouling is gone. Then follow that by a patch moistened with oil to lubricate your barrel.
I used dry patches this time so you could see the differences between the brands more clearly on camera.
What do think about this ammo in a revolver snubby ?
Should work fine but for a snubby you want a the Aguila hollow points.
@@Moondog2A Curious, why do you say hollow point is better for snubbies?
I'm assuming people with compact pistols like a snub revolver intend it for CCW/self-defense primarily. Hollow Points are designed specifically to expand when used at close-range (though how much is debatable); it's practically the only reason to buy HP 22LR, though some hunters swear by them.
@@Moondog2A oh i see. I thought u meant there's something particular about snubbies vs other guns lije semi auto or something.
Got cha. Thanks for reply.
I smashed the Like button and it broke my monitor. Please remit $800. I'll PM you with the bill. 🤭
Sorry. I never liked that phrase "smash". I stopped using it in my vids since this one. Thanks for subscribing.
You still said aguila wrong 😅
I'm well aware: ruclips.net/video/Q870i8z8ocQ/видео.html
It shoots the best in my 10/22
For the price yes. I find CCI Mini-Mag are a bit better but not worth the 25%-40% bump in price.
@@Moondog2A They shoot better than the mini mags in mine..
@@Moondog2A They shoot better than the mini mags in mine..
I tried again yesterday and the mini mags were grouping better lol. I guess depends on the day.. Or more than likely the shooter 😅
@@pwmiller5759 Probably depends on what kind of day the shooter had. ;-)
Don't use this in the 3d printed harlot pistol. Just broke my breach block lol
Yikes. Anything polymer I'd choose a subsonic or standard velocity cartridge.
