First Impressions
Upon opening the package, I was surprised by the neatly organized construction paper holds 20 rounds each, making it easy to reload and transport. The packaging itself is sturdy and compact, making it ideal for storage and transportation.
Range Performance
I decided to put the Aguilasuper Extra High Velocity to the test at the range, starting with some basic accuracy tests. I shot from 25 yards, using a .22 LR single-shot rifle, and was pleased to see that the ammo performed admirably, with most shots grouping tightly around the point of aim. I then moved on to some group shooting, and the results were impressive, with an average spread of about 3.5 inches at 50 yards.
Pros and Cons:
- Pros:
- Consistent performance, with minimal fliers in my testing.
- Clean and reliable extraction, even in the single-shot rifle.
- Affordable, making it a great option for target shooters and plinkers.
- The 38-grain weight provides a good balance between accuracy and penetration.
- Cons:
- Some users reported inconsistent feeding and ejection in semi-automatic rifles.
- May not be suitable for self-defense due to its relatively low muzzle energy.
- No overall velocity increase compared to Aguilasuper Subsonic ammo.
Conclusion
Overall, I’m impressed with the Aguilasuper Extra High Velocity .22 LR. It’s an excellent choice for target shooters, plinkers, and those looking for a reliable and consistent mid-range option. While it may not be ideal for self-defense or hunting, it’s a great addition to any shooter’s arsenal. At the price, you can’t go wrong. If you’re in the market for a high-quality .22 LR, I highly recommend giving the Aguilasuper Extra High Velocity a try.
Note:
As with any ammunition, it’s essential to follow proper safety precautions and loading procedures. Always ensure you’re shooting with the correct equipment and following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
