While browsing the Natchez Winter catalog I noticed an ad for .22 L R Supper Maximum (page 15). It states it can be fired in any .22 L R gun in good condition. It has characteristics not far from those of the .22 magnum. Is there anyone out there who's used them & can vouch for these claims? Not bad if true, $3.29 for a box of 50(solid point). $3.69 hp/box of 50.
Aguila ammo claim.

I've used the stuff before. It is loaded HOT and is absolutely devastating against those nasty water bottles and pesky bois d'arc apples. Blows 'em into little tiny pieces. 
I would NOT use them on small game that I intend to eat; there won't be much of the critter left intact. 
This load, along with CCI Velocitors, are the only .22LR loads I've used that seem to go supersonic from a 4" S&W M18. I say "seem to" because I've never actually chrono'd them, but they make a very loud sonic "crack".
HOWEVER...
That said, they cycle modern semi-autos with vigor, and have never stovepiped on me.
Also, they're reasonably accurate, albeit not quite as accurate as mid-grade high-velocity target loads such as CCI Mini-Mags or Federal Auto Match. Of course, as with any .22LR ammo, YMMV.

Although they're probably not outright dangerous, I would NOT fire these rounds in a old and valuable semi-auto pistol such as a Colt Woodsman or a High Standard. I've tried them in a variety of newer semi-autos, and I could tell that they batter the action a good deal harder than regular high-velocity .22LR, so I would be concerned about premature wear on hard-to-replace parts.
