Aguila SuperExtra RANSOM TEST

https://www.targetsportsusa.com/aguila-super-extra-22-long-rifle-standard-velocity-ammo-40-grain-lead-round-nose-1b222332-p-3435.aspx

I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF CASES OF THIS LAST FALL WHEN THEY WERE OUT OF CCI SV. I FIGURED HOW BAD COULD IT BE. I'VE USED AGULILA FROM WHEN THE CMP SOLD IT. IT FUNCTIONED FINE THAN. SO ON A WHIM I TOOK IT AND SEVERAL OTHERS OUT TO THE RANGE ON TUESDAY AND CHUCKED THE 208 INTO THE RANSOM REST. AT 50 YDS, IT GROUPED 1". CCI SV GROUPED 1 5/16". OF MY AVAILABLE .22 AMMO I TESTED. THE AGUILA WAS 3RD OVERALL. BEHIND OPS AND RWS TARGET RIFLE.

THE LISTED VELOCITY IS 1130FPS. A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL SV. BUT A VERY GOOD DEAL AT $179.90 DELIVERED.

Just ordered two cases. Thanks for the tip.

I bought some last year thinking i could use it in a High Standard. 
But then i saw its  higher velocity then  CCI  standard.   So i didn't.

I tried some as well in my marvel and HS, but although it worked well, I wasn't wild about the higher velocity.

1.4" at 50 yards in my 208 last time I Random Rested it. I was pleasantly surprised.

I think what you'll find with ammo at this price point is that there will be more lot-to-lot variability, and some FTFs and WTFs in each case, maybe in each brick.

I had a friend of mine give me a brick to try.  I did not bench test it but it shoots well and functions fine.  I have only one box left and so far no malfunctions of any type out of a brick.  I know that is not a large sample but works in my firearms.

It was about 1.5” in 3 Nelson barrels I tested.  Same lot of Aguila so like John mentioned it may have been due to variability.

Did some RR with the Nelson last fall.  It shot quite well, but my lot was a bit lower velocity than the CCI sv I usually use. It shot as well as the CCI but not quite as well as the CMP Eley I tested. All were less than 1 5/16" for 10 shots.

My only experience with the Aguila is that it won't run my Model 41, but it seems to be fine in my eurotrash guns.

As to the 41, I think it is sticking or not getting picked up by the extractor- CCI doesn't have this problem, and why I keep a couple of cases in the shootin' shack to keep it fed.

I've bought a couple of cases of this from Targetsports.
Works fine.
No problems.
Running it through a CZ 455 and a SW 422 as well as a Browning SA22.
It has in no way been erratic .
Haven't taken it out to 100yds with the rifles yet though.
25 and 50 yard only.
Glad to have RR evidence that I'm not nuts.
At my range folks give Aguila props for producing a solid product.
On the internet you would think it was junk.
I bench rested a few hundred rounds this last week.
It ran well , grouped well when I cooperated .
Certainly a good practice ammo.
Don't know if I will ever pay the price of Lapua.

Aquila is under powered in my 41, as well. I just bought GECO for bolt action rifles (1083 fps) and my 41 likes it a lot. It is very accurate. I got it for $1.99/box from Vizards.
