I recently purchased a used single shot .22 rifle for my grandson. I took it to the range today. Of course, I had to test it for safety reasons, if you know what I mean.
I went to the gun store the other day and bought several different brands of .22 ammo to test this rifle. Besides the standard American brands, I purchased several variations of Aguila rimfire ammo.
I have several comments to make about this south of the border stuff. It did shoot accruately and was reliable enough. But there are a couple of complaints about them. First, who designed the ammo boxes? There is this two piece plastic carrier inside of the cardboard box. It comes apart and makes a mess of the ammo. It is difficult to just remove a round or two. If they are going to use plastic, they might as well copy CCI's boxes. Then there was the odor of the ammo. I like the smell of freshly shot rimfire ammo. The Aguila ammo had a peculiar smell. It was sort of ammonia like. I hope it doesn't mean that this ammo is hard on gun barrels. I might try it again. But the ammo boxes don't help.
Who else has tried Aguila ammo? What are your thoughts on it?
