I believe it was this ammo that I bought that I had real problems with. My Ruger MKII and IV that shoot about any ammo I feed them without failure didn't like this ammo. FTF and FTE jams with it. It shot ok in my Ruger SR22c and it shot ok in a friend's Walther 22 compact that hated about all other ammo. I didn't try it in my S&W 15-22
I will not be buying anymore of this ammo.

Haven't tried their super maximum, or whatever...

I tried for 800+ rounds to make the Standard Velocity work in my 15-22.
Unreliable... FTF FTL, etc.
Several magazines, same result.

Tried it in my other semi-auto rifles and pistols with the same result.
Gave up on it for all semi-auto (S&W 15-22, Marlin 60, Ruger 10/22, all semi-auto pistols...)

Works fine in my non-auto rifles and pistols.
So, that's where my current inventory of Aguila (10K+ rounds) gets used.

YMMV...

Are you sure it was Supermaximum, or was it Interceptor?
