Has anyone tried Aguila ammo?

[09flhtcu]

I bought 100 rounds of Aguila 9mm Luger 117 grain hollow points. I think there made in Mexico. Haven't shot any yet but the look well made. So I wondered if they were good maby I'll buy some more. Can never have too much ammo. Thanks

I have no experience with their 9mm ammo, but I've shot tens of thousands of rounds of their standard velocity .22 LR in pistol competition. It's the brand sold by the Civilian Marksmanship Program. I started using it after CCI SV became difficult to obtain (Let's see . . . that was just about four years ago. Hmmm.) I did some pretty extensive testing and found it to be very accurate in my Walther GSP Expert. I recently had one FTF, and that was the only one in all that time.

I've used this ammo before and had no problems. You should be happy. If it's cheap enough I'd go back and get some more.

Aguila .38 Auto (not super) worked first-rate in my Astra 400 & Star Super, both in 9mm Bergmann-Bayard (Largo). However, when reloaded with my Lyman .38 Super/Auto dies, would not go into battery in the Star. Worked fine in the Astra. Go Figure.

I use it in my .22. Super Extras. Quality stuff.

Thanks for the information. I'll be buying more tomarrow

I've shot lots of Agula in 9mm, 45ACP and 22LR and never had an issue with any of it. It seems to always go bang.

[Cdog]

My experience is only with their rimfire stuff.

Nothing bad to say about it. For the $$ it performed well.

[Jswiney9]

like the others have said, it works well. (at least in any and every .22 ive put it through)

I've gone through 250 rounds on a very temperamental and unforgiving Sig as well as the very opposite CZ with nary a hiccup, so I would have no problem recommending Aguila 9mm ammo.

[Hapworth]

I've used Aquila's .45ACP FMJ; zero malfunctions and surprisingly accurate -- good plinking and target round.

[mr.jbk79]

I've shot several boxes of the 9mm hp 117gr, and found it to be really good stuff. I stashed a few boxes away, as a friend and I split a case of this back in '08 when it was hard to find.

[Bluecoat76]

It is great 22lr ammo, except I ran into problems with my S&W revolvers as it is larger in circumference than many others making it harder to eject fired cases.

I'm inundated in the stuff. It's all we can get here. Yes, I am in Mexico.

The brass is really good for reloading. The .38 Special brass works well in moonclips. I find the ammo I have tested is loaded a little on the light side, the 158 grain Lead .38 Special leaves a 6 inch barrel at about 765 fps. The bullet is so nice and soft I use them for slugging the bores of any .303 rifles we find to determine actual bore diameter.

The .380 ammo is pretty close to their advertised velocity of a 95 grain bullet at 980 fps when shot out of a Glock 25.

I find that they use very hard primers, sometimes super-hard, and this often caused misfires in the Glocks and even revolvers. The scene in "Man on Fire" where Denzel Washington tried to shoot himself with his Glock in Mexico and it misfired was totally believable to anyone stuck with the occasional Aguila super-hard primers in the Glock firearms.

I just chuckled and said to my wife; "Well, Hollywood got that one right, although I doubt they would know what I mean."

With lucky good timing I bought 1,000 rds of their 115 gr FMJ 9mm
right before the sick incident that started all this panic buying and
crazy prices. Good looking ammo that shows good accuracy in a few
of my several 9mm autos. My only complaint is that it is underloaded
like most all bargain priced 9mm ammo and will not cycle some of my
guns. For practice or plinking it's ok but anyone who might want
to rely on it for self defense had better give it a good long function
test in their gun.

[Vegetaman]

I've only used it in .45 ACP (think I've got half a box left). Seems to work great!

[mkk41]

IIRC , the Aguila plant in Mexico used to be owned & operated by Remington.

I burn up lot of their Colibri and Super Colibri .22 ammo.

[o3rugby1]

We shoot the **** out of it. Its great no problems at all.

[rock doc]

No problems encountered with 22lr, 9mm, 38 specials, or .357 magnums.

[shield]

I've shot thousands of the 9mm FMJ 124gr, no issues other than I can't find it in stock anymore, and they raised the price .

[captainjohnsofd]

subsidiary of Remington......have had no problems with it

[Garand Man]

I personally have used .22, 45acp, and 30 carbine with nary a problem from any of it...

I shoot aguila in my 686. It's cheap and it gives me 2-3 inch groups at 25 yards pretty easily too.

It's the best 22LR ammo I can find (afford) for my ruger 10/22s also. (40 grain high velocity)

[desi2358]

The only problem I've ever encountered with Aquila has been an occasional batch with hard primers. Would not fire in one handgun but worked fine in another. Some guns just hit the primer harder than others! Best to try a box before buying a quantity (though with the current panic, if it gave problems in your gun you shouldn't have a problem finding someone who would want it).
