The .22lr is a versatile round, fantastic for everything from teaching brand new shooters the ropes of the gun world to the simply joys of plinking to varmint and pest control. If you use yours to take down small game, make sure you’re using the right ammunition. Some gun owners try to use target rounds to hunt, but those rounds have two significant flaws: a tendency to over-penetrate, which endangers innocent bystanders, and a serious lack when it comes to creating a wound track. Using a good expanding round means a clean kill as well as keeping innocent bystanders safe. With that in mind, take a look at these rounds from Aguila.

DESCRIPTION

These Aguila rounds are made for your .22LR and weigh in at 30 grain. That makes them pretty lightweight overall and just outside the light end of the standard weight range for these cartridges. Being so light enables these rounds to soar down-range at higher speeds and is the reason felt recoil is almost nonexistent in .22LR-chamber firearms. These are Copper-Plate Hollow Point, CPHP, rounds. The copper makes them clean-firing and, in fact, if you have a dirty gun, firing a few of these through it helps cut the buildup. Because they’re HPs they mushroom on impact, creating a significant wound cavity. Each of these rounds has a muzzle velocity of 1700 feet per second. This ammunition is great for hunting small game and pests and can also be use for target practice.

When you order this box of ammunition from Aguila you get 50 CPHP rounds. That’s just enough for a brief plinking session or to take down a few pests, so if you want lengthy trigger time or you’d like to get some serious hunting time in you’ll want to order more than one box. This ammunition is manufacture by Aguila, which is a subsidiary of TECNOS. TECNOS is base in Mexico and was found decades ago by Remington, who got the company started including training its original employees but is no longer associate with them at all. Today TECNOS is its own entity entirely and manufactures ammo according to SAAMI or CIP specifications. Order now and feed your .22LR.
