Aguila SuperExtra

[winetoad]

Group buy would be a great idea. CMP had .22 on backorder. Lady there told me they haven't shipped any since 2013

Got a case of the Std Vel from CMP and good ammo for the price. Same stuff as the discontinued Eley Sport. Cycles pistols and semi auto rifles fine. Not match grade stuff but decent for 25yd target shooting if your firearm likes it. The Eley Prime used in this ammo is one of the best for eliminating misfires, never had one in over 2000 rounds. I'll buy another case when I see it.

Super Extra is RAD! I like their extra as well, the subsonic 60 gr. runs through my SR22 pistol like butter. It's a 60 grain tip (long) that's fitted on a 22 short casing, cycles like 1200 fps bulk ammo. Great stuff, but it smells like Fiocci, they must put allspice in it or something.

Nah. My Aguila was shipped from CMP mid-2014.

They are good performers in 29gr .22 short; better than the golden bullet for sure. I never had a misfire in over 500 rds.

Aguila is first rate ammunition.

I gave it a whirl

I bought a box of Aguila SE to test in my Advantage Arms conversion kit. I did not have much success with it. It works okay in my single action pistol. I don't run copper washed ammo in my match guns.

I found the Aguila Interceptor to be a much better match for the conversion kit. The Interceptor is also copper washed but waxed too (like SK). There are little puddles of wax in the packaging under each bullet tip.

The SE was copper washed and unwaxed.

I noticed the "Super Extra" comes in different velocities. The high velocity is copper coated, but the standard velocity that I bought is lead round nosed, and lubed.

Shot in my Remington 597 the first year I had it. Reliable and grouped well.

Seems weird

I noticed the "Super Extra" comes in different velocities. The high velocity is copper coated, but the standard velocity that I bought is lead round nosed, and lubed.

I found it very difficult to locate the velocity information on the web. The Aguila line seems to be rapidly evolving.

It seems a poor marketing decision to have both SV lubed lead and HV copper washed with the same name on the box...

There's 20 or so bricks available here:

With shipping, it make most sense if you get at least 3 bricks ($12 shipping), or more (4 to 5 bricks shipping is $14), 10 is the max. I think you need a long barrel to achieve the full 1750 fps. I was a YouTube reviews and it was measuring about 200fps less on the chrono with an 18' and 21" barrel.

I shot 100 rounds out of the three bricks of Super Extra Standard Velocity I have yesterday. I wasn't too impressed. No failures, but the groups were 3/4"-1" at 50 yards. The other standard velocity ammos I was shooting all were grouping between 3/8"-1/2". CCI MiniMags were right around 1/2".

I'll try it one more time on another day, but if I have the same performance, it's going into the pistol plinking ammo box. Remington Golden Bullets and Winchester white box have the same accuracy or slightly better at the same range, but at half the price.

Maybe I'll have better accuracy in my pistols, who knows.

If you want, I'll swap ya a couple of boxes of the High Velocity for the Standard Velocity, I'd like to try that in my High Standard Lightweight.
