This 22 LR ammo by Aguila is the stuff of plinking, target shooting, and wasting the meddlesome little brutes who like to chew your home’s siding and pilfer its bird feeders. Suitable for semi-automatics including pistols and AR-15 rifles, Aguila deserves their reputation for making surprisingly high quality 22 LR!

This cartridge sports a 38 grain projectile. 22 LR bullets are typically 40 grains, and while two grains isn’t much it still conveys a slightly peppier muzzle velocity for an accordingly flatter trajectory. The bullet’s copper plating serves to reduce lead fouling. The longer a barrel stays clean, the longer it can stay accurate – that’s why we prefer CPRNs for semi-automatics, which tend to work through quite a lot of ammo in a single day.

This round’s bullet also has the hollow point you want for hunting. It expands following impact, so it tears a much wider hole through its target than its original 0.223” diameter could account for. The bullet is seated in Aguila’s straight-walled brass case, with their own noncorrosive and very sensitive rimfire primer to get the show started.
