Aguila

Bought a box of Aguila today to try in my 21A and wonder if anybody else had tried them in Beretta Bobcat. If so how did they work? I won't be able to try them until next week and wonder about other opinions. What say you?
 
I love their Colibri!
.22lr case with no powder, only primer.

It won't cycle the action of course, but, it feeds fine.

Fun stuff to play with & lethal on mice and snakes at close range.
 
I really like their super ultra standard speed (cast bullet), and their super ultra high speed (plated bullet). Better and cheaper than CCI.

Every .22 will like a different brand of ammo. Only way to find out of your Beretta likes 'em or not is to try 'em. They'll either cycle and shoot well or they won't.
 
I've been using Aguila .22LR SV in my Walther GSP in Bullseye competition for several years, burning through upwards of a case (5,000 rounds) each year. Excellent accuracy and no reliability problems - I think (can't exactly remember) that I may have had one FTF in all that time. The Eley priming compound stinks like a French whorehouse (they tell me - no personal experience), but the latest two cases I bought and haven't shot yet say that they're "Aguila primed". Hope that doesn't smell worse and/or mess up the great performance I've had so far.
 
Seemed to work quite well in my wife's new SR22. Put 2 boxes of 50 thru it & no problems. Seemed to let off a puff of smoke after every shot & I don't know it that makes any difference.
 
Pronounced "Agg-Yah-Luh", not "Ah-Gwee-La" as some say.

That's not correct, either. It's the Spanish word for Eagle. It's pronounced AH'-gee-lah (hard 'g' as in "gold," not soft 'g' as in "gee whiz")).

But ... what do I know?


I like the ammo. Aguila is the only company that currently makes .22 Winchester Automatic Rimfire, the special cartridge for the Model 1903 carbine. I've shot my grandfather's old 1903 using the Aguila ammo against several (much) newer .22s with other brands of ammo, including Winchester, Remington, and CCI, and the old 1903 with the Aguila outshoots them all.

I've heard industry experts pronounce it my way. Keep in mind various family names are not pronounced as they normally would in the mother language. I have heard industry experts refer to the ammo as such.
 
Aguila is not a family name, it is a Spanish word, and Aguila Blanca (White Eagle) is correct in its pronunciation. "Industry experts", unless they are Spanish speakers, may be "experts" on ammunition, but not on a foreign language.

What I know is that it's Spanish. My late wife was a Latina, so I spent a lot of time in South America when we visited her family. It happens to be the Spanish translation of my old C.B. radio "handle" so I have paid close attention when I've heard it pronounced by native Spanish speakers. Therefore, as it happens, I do know how it is pronounced in Spanish.

Under the Spanish word on the right there's a small speaker icon. Click that to hear the word pronounced.
 
Aquila standard and high velocity are good quality and less expensive than US and European brands. I don't know about Thur gimmick loads.
 
Used it a lot shooting sporter-rifle, shot some of it out of a Ruger MKIII, never had any functionality issues, its reliable and accurate. But it stinks. It smells horrid.
