Thread: Aguila 60gn .22lr

Anyone tried this stuff? I was just given a hand full by a mate.

filthy powder just like all aguila

Dirty as mentioned but my 10/22 loves them. Possums not so much...they hit hard and with a decent supressor very little report

Will they stabilise in your standard .22lr?

Yep they do and are accurate enough too.

Yup didn't in mine. Didn't group that well at all.
When sighting in in a little spot they would make a whirring noise after hitting the ground behind the target.
Thought I had a reasonable group 80m out but never got back to try again.
They were a bit speedy though.
I did think they would hit quite hard and if they tumbled on impact like I thought would do a bit of damage

They shot okay in my Remington .22

Showed a very curved trajectory as you'd expect with such a heavy bullet

Not really sure what they're intended for, but I can't think of a better .22 round for homekill sheep or pigs at close range

Awesome in a suppressed pistol

Hi all
i found these didnt work flight wise in my bang sticks [shot gun groups an sideways impacts ]
but i came across a Volquartsen fast twist 1:8 22lr Ruger 10/22 barrel for sale
Had read online that the heavy 60gn on semis would open the bolt a tad before the bigger massed projectile would fly down the barrel
so built a bolt action to use this barrel ..still didnt have the moa that i felt should happen
there was a factory fitted thread adaptor on the Volquartsen barrel so had this removed ,rethreaded the barrel direct to a good AimSport suppressor
Wish i had used a better quality donner bolt action

Now i have a good moa shooter @ 75 m zero .Very Very quiet but man do those 60grain hit hard
cheers to all

note : the knurled thread adapter still fitted on this barrel
